BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Noto
Updated: July 14, 2026 · Province of SR
To book a taxi in Noto, call the radio taxi at 392 935 0974. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Noto the taxi service is run by a very limited number of municipal licenses (only 4 across the entire municipality), so the safest way to get around remains calling an operator directly or asking your hotel or B&B reception to book one for you, especially during high season. The taxi with license no. 1, run by Noto Days, covers transfers to Catania airport, the beaches of Noto Marina, Calamosche and Eloro, and the Riserva di Vendicari, while another local operator is also active for chauffeur-driven hire (NCC). The main ride-hailing apps such as itTaxi and appTaxi cover nearby Siracusa but not yet Noto, and with Uber you can only book the Uber Black service, not a traditional taxi. It should also be noted that the historic center along Corso Vittorio Emanuele is subject to a limited traffic zone during the day and becomes a pedestrian-only area in the evening, so it is worth asking for the most convenient meeting point already at the time of booking.

Apps to call a taxi in Noto
| Uber — In Noto you cannot book a traditional taxi through the Uber app: the official page dedicated to the city indicates Uber Black as the only available option, a high-end chauffeur-driven car service (NCC), to be requested in advance at an agreed fare. | Available |
| FreeNow — FreeNow is not yet active in the province of Siracusa: the service operates permanently only in Milano, Roma and Torino and is in the process of expanding to Napoli, Catania, Palermo and Cagliari, without including Noto or Siracusa for now. | Not available |
| itTaxi — The official itTaxi website lists Siracusa among the more than 80 cities it covers in Italy, but Noto does not appear on that list: at the moment the app does not appear to be connected to a local taxi fleet in Noto. | Not available |
| Wetaxi — The official Wetaxi pages consulted do not show a list of covered cities mentioning Noto or Siracusa; in Sicilia the service is described mainly in Catania and Palermo, not in the province of Siracusa. | Not available |
| appTaxi — Like itTaxi, appTaxi also lists Siracusa among the cities covered on its official website, but does not include Noto: the app therefore does not currently appear to be usable for calling a local taxi in the city. | Not available |
| BTaxi — BTaxi is linked to the Bologna taxi drivers' cooperative (Co.Ta.Bo.) and covers few cities, mainly in Piemonte and Emilia-Romagna (Torino, Alessandria, Bologna): there is no coverage in Sicilia, neither in Noto nor in Siracusa. | Not available |
| InTaxi — The official InTaxi website indicates coverage of more than 70 Italian cities, all concentrated in the Center-North (Milano, Roma, Torino, Genova, Udine and others): no Sicilian city, including Noto, currently appears to be served. | Not available |
Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Catania-Fontanarossa (CTA) · ~90 km from the center
There is no official fixed fare for the Catania Airport-Noto route (about 90 km, over an hour's journey): NCC operators generally apply a price agreed in advance, indicatively between 140 and 200 EUR depending on the number of passengers and the vehicle, so it is always worth asking for a quote at the time of booking.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic center along Corso Vittorio Emanuele and the surrounding streets is a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) during the day and becomes a pedestrian-only area in the evening; ZTL permits are managed by the Municipality of Noto through its online office. Anyone booking a taxi or NCC during these hours should arrange a meeting point with the operator just outside the regulated area.
Practical tips
- There are only 4 taxi licenses in the Municipality of Noto: during high season (Easter, summer, long weekends) it is better to book in advance by phone rather than count on finding one free on the street.
- Corso Vittorio Emanuele and the streets of the historic center are a ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone) during the day and a pedestrian-only area in the evening: ask the operator for a convenient meeting point just outside the regulated area when booking a taxi or NCC.
- For the Riserva Naturale di Vendicari and the beaches of Noto Marina, Calamosche and Eloro, public transport connections are scarce or only seasonal: an agreed taxi or NCC is often the most practical solution, especially outside the summer months.
- From Catania airport (about 90 km, over an hour's journey) there is no fixed taxi fare to Noto: always ask for an agreed price at the time of booking, before you set off.
- The itTaxi and appTaxi apps work in nearby Siracusa but not yet in Noto: here it is best to rely on calling local operators directly or ask your accommodation's reception to call a taxi for you.

Can you reach the Riserva di Vendicari by taxi from Noto?

Do itTaxi or appTaxi let you call a taxi in Noto?
