BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Bosa
Updated: July 14, 2026 · Province of OR
To book a taxi in Bosa, call the radio taxi at 327 717 3761. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Bosa there isn't a genuine radio-taxi dispatch centre with multiple vehicles like in bigger cities: the main point of reference for booking a taxi or an NCC (chauffeur-driven car) service is Bosa Taxi Service, run by Giuseppe Pinna, reachable by phone, WhatsApp or iMessage at 327 717 3761, available 24 hours a day. Since there's no real taxi rank in the main square as in Cagliari or Alghero, it's always worth calling or messaging ahead to arrange the pickup time, especially in high season, when the flow of tourists to the colourful houses of the historic centre, the Malaspina castle and the beach at Bosa Marina pushes demand up well beyond what the town's size would suggest. The service publishes a price list with fixed fares for the most requested routes, such as the connection to Bosa Marina or to Alghero-Fertilia airport, avoiding surprises on the final price. None of the major ride-hailing apps or leading national taxi operators is currently active in Bosa, so calling directly remains the most reliable way to get around.

Apps to call a taxi in Bosa
| Uber — Uber's "cities" page doesn't include Bosa (the dedicated sub-page returns a 404 error) and the town doesn't appear in the app's official list of Italian cities covered. Actual Uber Taxi coverage in Sardegna is confirmed only in Cagliari, Quartu Sant'Elena, Olbia and Alghero: Bosa is not among them. | Not available |
| FreeNow — There's no sign of FreeNow expanding to Bosa or the province of Oristano: in Sardegna the service so far only covers Cagliari among the identified cities. | Not available |
| itTaxi — Bosa doesn't appear in the official list of cities covered published on ittaxi.it, unlike nearby Alghero and Oristano: the app therefore can't be used to call a taxi in town. | Not available |
| Wetaxi — The official wetaxi.it website doesn't list Bosa among the cities served; in Sardegna the service is active only in Cagliari. | Not available |

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Alghero-Fertilia (Riviera del Corallo) (AHO) · ~50 km from the center
Taxi fare: About €90 fixed fare (1-5 passengers) quoted by Bosa Taxi Service, the only confirmed taxi/NCC operator in Bosa, for the Alghero-Fertilia airport–Bosa route.
There's no regulated municipal fare: Bosa doesn't have an official city taxi register like larger towns, so the published price is the private price list of the only active operator (Bosa Taxi Service), not a fare schedule approved by the municipality. The route is about 50 km along the coast, just over an hour by car. An alternative is the ARST line 9312 Alghero airport–Bosa, but it runs only a few times a day and takes about an hour and a half: for night or early-morning flights, a taxi remains the more practical option, best booked by phone in advance.
Practical tips
- Since there's no fixed taxi rank in the square, it's always best to call or message Bosa Taxi Service on WhatsApp a little in advance, especially in high season (June-September), when the colourful houses of the historic centre and the beach at Bosa Marina draw far more visitors than the town's roughly 7,280 residents.
- To reach the beach at Bosa Marina, about 2-3 km from the historic centre, a taxi is handy in the evening or outside local bus hours: according to the price list of the only confirmed operator, the ride costs about €10 for 1-3 passengers and €15 for 4-5 passengers.
- The nearest airport is Alghero-Fertilia, about 50 km away and around an hour's drive along the coast: Bosa Taxi Service applies a fixed fare of about €90 for the transfer, regardless of traffic or the flight's arrival time.
- As an alternative to a taxi, the ARST line 9312 connects Alghero airport to Bosa in about an hour and a half, but with only a few runs a day: for a night flight or with heavy luggage, a taxi remains the more practical option.
- The Sas Conzas district, the old tanneries along the Temo that have become bars and restaurants, and the climb up to the Malaspina castle are popular spots for an evening stroll: if you book a taxi for dinner out, it's best to give a precise landmark, since some streets in the historic centre are narrow and poorly lit.
