BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Rovigo
Updated: July 12, 2026 · Province of RO
To book a taxi in Rovigo, call the radio taxi at 0425 1812 or use the appTaxi app. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Rovigo, taxis are found mainly at the two main ranks in the town centre: the one in front of the railway station, on the Bologna-Padova line, and the one in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, the heart of the historic centre, dominated by the medieval Torre Donà and Torre Grimani. Two independent radio taxi services operate in the city, reachable by phone on 0425 1812 and 0425 23900, active every day of the year, including at night. Since 23 April 2025, the InTaxi app has also been available, promoted by the Municipality of Rovigo together with CNA and Confartigianato Polesine, which lets you book a free taxi from either of the city's two fleets with a single request. Fares are set by a specific resolution of the City Council and include, alongside the urban and extra-urban metered fare, a number of fixed-price routes to the hospital, the industrial areas and the city's main shopping districts. Rovigo is also the natural starting point for reaching the Parco Regionale Veneto del Delta del Po by taxi, whose coastline is about 40 km away.

Taxi from the airport
Venezia Marco Polo (VCE) · ~64 km from the center
There is no fixed fare for taxi transfers to the airports: Venezia Marco Polo (VCE) is about 64 km from Rovigo, and Bologna Guglielmo Marconi (BLQ) about 73 km. As these are extra-urban/motorway routes, the metered fare applies (item D or F of the municipal resolution), so it's best to ask the radio taxi for a quote in advance or consider an NCC (chauffeur-driven hire) service.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
Rovigo's historic centre (Corso del Popolo, Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II and the surrounding streets) is subject to a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) with electronic access gates; for up-to-date hours and permits, the official source is the Rovigo Local Police (Viale Oroboni 8, tel. 0425 204611).
Practical tips
- The two main taxi ranks are in front of the railway station and in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, at the foot of Torre Donà and Torre Grimani: for most of the day, taxis are available without booking.
- Rovigo applies a number of fixed-price routes (not metered): about 8-9€ to the Ospedale Civile/Cittadella Socio-Sanitaria, 15€ to the "La Fattoria"/Area 13 industrial zone, 10€ to the Area Tosi; it's worth confirming the price with the driver before setting off.
- For those arriving on the Bologna-Padova line, the taxi rank is right at the station exit; La Rotonda and Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II are in any case just a few minutes' walk from the centre.
- To reach the Parco del Delta del Po (Adria, Porto Viro, the coast), these are extra-urban routes charged at tariff D or E: it's best to agree an indicative price with the radio taxi in advance.
- With the InTaxi app (active since 2025) or by calling 1812/23900, the ride is assigned to the nearest available taxi, regardless of which fleet the driver belongs to.
