There is no fixed municipal fare for the Sassari-Alghero-Fertilia airport route (about 30 km, about 30-35 minutes): it is an extra-urban route, so the cost is calculated by the taximeter according to the extra-urban fares set out in the municipal regulation.

Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic centre of Sassari is subject to a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) managed by the Comune's Polizia locale; the activation status of the electronic gates and the operating hours may change over time, so it is advisable to check any access restrictions before being driven by car or taxi into the historic centre.
Practical tips
- The historic centre of Sassari, with Piazza d'Italia and the Duomo di San Nicola, falls within a Limited Traffic Zone: before being driven by taxi right into the old town, check with the driver or the Comune for any access restrictions.
- During the Cavalcata Sarda (the second-to-last Sunday in May) and other major events in the piazza, taxi availability may drop due to the influx of people: it's best to book ahead by phone or via the inTaxi app.
- Those arriving by train can find taxis near Sassari's railway station; it's still advisable to call the radio taxi dispatch if no vehicle is waiting.
- The municipal regulation allows discounted fares for pre-established routes and specific categories of users (for example, women travelling alone in the evening or people with disabilities): ask the driver or the cooperative directly for information.
- For Alghero-Fertilia airport there is no fixed fare: always ask for a cost estimate over the phone before the ride, since it is an extra-urban route of about 30 km.
