BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Chioggia
Updated: July 11, 2026 · Province of VE
To book a taxi in Chioggia, call the radio taxi at 041 400449. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
Chioggia doesn't have one single radio-taxi cooperative the way Venezia does: the service is provided by a number of taxi drivers holding a municipal license, each with their own phone number to call directly for a booking, plus a pickup point on the square in front of the coach station at Piazzale Europa in Sottomarina. The Comune di Chioggia, through the Ufficio Commercio - SUAP, regulates non-scheduled public transport (taxis and NCC hire cars) both by land and by water, and taxis remain among the few vehicles allowed to circulate freely even within the ZTL of the historic center. Since ride-hailing apps such as Uber, FreeNow or itTaxi are not active here, the most reliable way to get around remains calling the operator directly, especially in summer when nearby Sottomarina fills up with beach tourists and waiting times get longer. For transfers to Venezia Marco Polo airport or to central Venezia, it's best to book somewhat in advance and always ask for a price estimate over the phone, since there are no published fixed fares for these routes.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Venezia Marco Polo (VCE) · ~45 km from the center
There is no fixed fare published by the Comune or by local operators for the Chioggia-airport route: the trip (about 45 km via the Romea road/Mestre ring road) is normally charged by the meter or quoted over the phone in advance. It's best to ask for an estimate when booking, especially in high season when traffic toward Sottomarina slows down connections.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic center of Chioggia is subject to a Zona a Traffico Limitato (ZTL) in effect every day from 10:00 to 5:00, divided into three areas (ZTL1 Centro Storico Ovest, ZTL2 Nord-Est, ZTL3 Sud-Est). According to the official vademecum from the Comune di Chioggia and SST spa (October 2022), taxis and NCC vehicles are among those allowed to enter and stop in all ZTL areas, and are exempt from the administrative fee (15 euro for permanent permits) that is instead required from other categories such as residents and businesses.
Practical tips
- Chioggia doesn't have a single radio-taxi dispatch center like Venezia: it's worth saving the numbers of more than one licensed taxi driver in your phone (e.g. Boscolo Eugenio 041 400449, Boscolo Stefano 347 8905154), since on summer weekends requests from Sottomarina can saturate availability.
- None of the main ride-hailing apps (Uber, FreeNow, itTaxi, Wetaxi, appTaxi, BTaxi) is operational in Chioggia: the only reliable way to book remains calling the operator directly.
- The historic center, made up of the islands around Corso del Popolo, is subject to the ZTL every day from 10:00 to 5:00: taxis can still enter and stop, being among the categories exempt from the administrative fee required of other authorized vehicles.
- For those arriving at the morning fish market or needing to catch a coach from the bus terminal at Piazzale Europa in Sottomarina, it's better to book the taxi the evening before: there's no guarantee of finding one free on the street the way you would in a big city.
- Since there is no fixed fare published for Venezia Marco Polo airport (about 45 km), always ask for a cost estimate over the phone before getting in, keeping in mind that the route goes via the Romea and can be affected by tourist traffic toward Venezia.

How much does a taxi from Chioggia to Venezia Marco Polo airport cost?
There is no fixed fare published for this route of about 45 km: the price is calculated by the meter or by a phone quote agreed with the taxi driver at the time of booking.
Can taxis enter the ZTL of Chioggia's historic center?
Yes. According to the ZTL vademecum from the Comune di Chioggia (October 2022), taxis and NCC vehicles are among the categories allowed to enter and stop in the three limited traffic zones of the historic center (in effect every day from 10:00 to 5:00), and they are exempt from the administrative fee that is instead required from other categories.
Where are the taxi ranks in Chioggia and Sottomarina?
One reference point is the square in front of the bus station at Piazzale Europa in Sottomarina; in Chioggia's historic center, along Corso del Popolo and near the train station, taxis are instead booked by phone for pickup at the desired location.
