How to book a taxi in Trento
Updated: July 11, 2026 · Province of TN
To book a taxi in Trento, call the radio taxi at 0461 930002 or use the InTaxi app. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Trento, the easiest way to find a taxi is to call the Cooperativa Radio Taxi Trento at 0461 930002, operating 24 hours a day all year round, or to send an SMS to 340 994 9655 with your location. Alternatively, you can book through the InTaxi app, the cooperative's official digital channel, which lets you share your location, choose the type of vehicle, track the taxi's arrival on the map, and pay directly from your smartphone. Unlike big cities, there aren't dozens of visible taxi ranks on every corner: the most reliable spots to catch a taxi remain the area around the Piazza Dante railway station and the Piazza Duomo area, but in most cases it's still best to call or book in advance. Uber, FreeNow, itTaxi, Wetaxi, appTaxi and BTaxi are not active in the Trento area, so the traditional taxi service and InTaxi remain the main options for getting around the city and reaching destinations across the province.

Apps to call a taxi in Trento
| InTaxi — It's the official digital channel of the Cooperativa Radio Taxi Trento: taxitrento.it itself encourages users to download InTaxi to share their location, choose the type of vehicle, track the taxi's arrival on the map, and pay by card or with a Globix subscription. | Available |
| Uber — Trento does not appear on Uber's official list of Italian cities served. Some local NCC (chauffeur-driven hire) agencies advertise 'Uber Trento' rides, but these are actually pre-agreed-fare chauffeur services that use the app merely as a contact channel, not a genuine Uber Black fleet operating in the city: check actual availability in the app before relying on the service. | Not available |
| FreeNow — FreeNow's official list of Italian cities covered includes only the major centers (Milano, Roma, Napoli, Torino, Bologna, Palermo, Catania, Cagliari); Trento is not included. | Not available |
| itTaxi — Although some third-party tourist guides mistakenly list it among Taxi Trento's channels (confusing it with InTaxi, which is a different app), itTaxi's official website does not list Trento among its covered cities. | Not available |
| Wetaxi — The service is concentrated in Torino (where it was founded), Milano, Roma and Napoli; there is no official confirmation of active coverage in Trento. | Not available |
| appTaxi — appTaxi's official coverage page lists the main Italian cities from north to south, but Trento does not appear on it. | Not available |
| BTaxi — BTaxi covers Alessandria, Torino, Empoli, Bologna and Barcellona; Trento is not within the app's service area. | Not available |
Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Bolzano Dolomiti (BZO) · ~57 km from the center
There is no fixed municipal fare for transfers to/from Bolzano or Verona airports: the fare is calculated by the taximeter (starting fee + extra-urban rate of 2,20 €/km beyond the city perimeter) or agreed in advance with the operator. For a reliable quote before setting off, it's best to call Radio Taxi at 0461 930002 or contact a local NCC (chauffeur-driven hire) operator with a pre-agreed fixed fare.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
Trento's historic center (the Piazza Duomo - Castello del Buonconsiglio area) is a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL). Taxis, classified by the Municipality as economic operators, are allowed to drive through it, but must report any entries made outside permitted hours within 48 hours; private vehicles, on the other hand, need a transit/parking permit issued by Trentino Mobilità S.p.A.
Practical tips
- During the Mercatini di Natale (Christmas markets, late November-December) taxi demand rises sharply on weekends and in the evening: book by phone or via the InTaxi app instead of hoping to flag one down on the street.
- The historic center around Piazza Duomo and Castello del Buonconsiglio is a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL): authorized taxis can drive through it, but if you're getting around in a private car (even a rental), you'll need a permit issued by Trentino Mobilità S.p.A.
- If you're travelling with skis, a bike, or pets (guide dogs excluded), note that small surcharges apply (1,70 €, 1,90 € and 1,70 € respectively): useful to know if you're arriving in Trento to reach the slopes of Monte Bondone or Val di Fiemme.
- For Verona airport (about 90 km, a one-hour drive via the A22) or Bolzano Dolomiti airport (about 57 km) there is no fixed fare: always ask Radio Taxi for a quote, or consider an NCC service with a price agreed in advance.
- Trento's railway station, on Piazza Dante, is just 550 metres from Piazza Duomo: if you're arriving by train on the Brennero line and want to reach the center or the University, it's often best to ask at the ticket office/infopoint where the nearest taxi is, or call Radio Taxi directly.

There's no fixed fare published by the Municipality for these routes: the price is calculated by the taximeter according to the extra-urban rate, or agreed in advance with the operator. It's best to call Radio Taxi beforehand or book an NCC with a fixed price, especially for Verona airport (about 90 km, a one-hour journey).
Is it better to book a taxi in advance during the Mercatini di Natale?
