How to book a taxi in Norcia
Updated: July 8, 2026 · Province of PG
To book a taxi in Norcia, call the radio taxi at 333 451 5608. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Norcia there is no radio-taxi cooperative with a single switchboard: the service is provided by local taxi/NCC operators, such as Taxi NCC di Pietro D'Alfonso (tel. 333 451 5608). The main Italian ride-hailing apps (itTaxi, FreeNow, Wetaxi) do not cover Norcia, so it's best to call directly and book well in advance, especially during events such as Norcia Nera or the Castelluccio flowering season.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Perugia "San Francesco d'Assisi" (PEG) · ~95 km from the center
There is no published fixed fare for the Norcia-Perugia airport route: it is an NCC (chauffeur-driven car hire) service by reservation, so it's best to ask for a quote at the time of booking. The route is about 95 km and takes over 1h20 by car along the Valnerina.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
There does not appear to be a published ZTL (limited traffic zone) ordinance for Norcia: the historic center is nonetheless a walled village with narrow streets, partly still affected by the post-2016 earthquake reconstruction works, so it's advisable to agree with the driver on the pickup/drop-off point closest to the requested address.
Practical tips
- In Norcia the taxi service is run by very few local operators (not a large fleet): call ahead, especially in high season, during the Norcia Nera fair (late February/early March) and during the Castelluccio flowering season (late June)
- Since this is NCC/private taxi hire rather than a standardized metered city service, it's good practice to ask for a price indication over the phone when booking, especially for out-of-town trips to outlying hamlets or the airport
- Norcia's historic center is enclosed by walls, and part of the area around Piazza San Benedetto is still affected by post-2016 earthquake reconstruction work: check with the driver on the most convenient meeting point for loading/unloading luggage
Frequently asked questions
Is there a fixed taxi rank in central Norcia?
Norcia doesn't have a proper taxi rank with several cars lined up as in larger cities: the service is provided by one or a few local operators on call, so the most reliable way to get a car is to phone ahead rather than hope to find one free on the street.
How do you get from Norcia to Castelluccio or the Valnerina by taxi?
Local taxi/NCC operators also run out-of-town trips on request to outlying hamlets (Castelluccio di Norcia, Preci, Valnerina); it's advisable to agree on the price by phone before setting off, since this is a quoted service rather than a city metered fare.
