BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Vicenza
Updated: July 10, 2026 · Province of VI
To book a taxi in Vicenza, call the radio taxi at 0444 920600 or use the itTaxi app. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Vicenza the simplest way to get a taxi is to call the single number of the CO.TA.VI. cooperative (TaxiVicenza), operating 24 hours a day since 1986, which routes requests to the nearest taxi thanks to the satellite system installed in the vehicles. Alternatively, you can book via SMS, through the WEBI web service, or with the itTaxi or appTaxi app, both promoted directly by the cooperative. Since 2024 Uber can also be used in the city, but only in "Taxi" mode: the app routes the ride to regular white taxis through the itTaxi consortium, not to Uber Black NCC (hire-with-driver) vehicles. In the historic centre, taxis can be found at the staffed taxi ranks of Piazza Matteotti, Corso Palladio, in front of the Stazione FS and the Ospedale San Bortolo, as well as at the Fiera; rides are metered according to the rates set by the City Council. Vicenza has no airport of its own: the nearest air link is Catullo Airport in Verona-Villafranca, reachable by taxi in about 40 minutes.

Apps to call a taxi in Vicenza
| Uber — In Vicenza, Uber works in "Taxi" mode, not Uber Black/NCC: since 21 February 2024 the app has routed requests to the white taxis of the CO.TA.VI. cooperative (Radiotaxi Vicenza) thanks to the agreement between Uber and the itTaxi consortium. You therefore travel with a regular meter, not with a hire-with-driver (NCC) vehicle. | Available |
| itTaxi — This is the app officially recommended by the CO.TA.VI./TaxiVicenza cooperative for calling the nearest taxi, tracking its position in real time and being notified of its arrival; it is also the technical platform underpinning the integration with Uber. | Available |

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Verona-Villafranca "Valerio Catullo" (VRN) · ~48 km from the center
Vicenza has no airport of its own: the nearest is Catullo Airport in Verona-Villafranca (VRN), about 45-50 km away and 35-45 minutes by car via the A4 motorway (Verona Nord exit). There is no official fixed fare for the airport-Vicenza route (the flat-rate fare tables published by the airport only cover the connection to the city of Verona): for transfers to/from Vicenza it's best to book a taxi or NCC (hire-with-driver) in advance and agree the price beforehand, or use the airport's affiliated taxi service (Unione Radio Taxi, Taxi & Auto Blu, Radiotaxi Catullo), asking for an estimate before setting off. Alternatively, for those arriving from the north-east, the airports of Venezia (Marco Polo, VCE) and Treviso (TSF) are also reachable, both about 65-70 km away.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic centre of Vicenza has had an active ZTL (limited traffic zone) since 1996, with cameras monitoring access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at almost all checkpoints (the only exception is Corso Fogazzaro, which is not monitored from 8pm to 9am on weekdays and never on public holidays). The City Council has also set up lanes and checkpoints reserved for buses and taxis, so taxis can pass through and stop in the ZTL as part of the public transport service. For those arriving by private car, the taxi remains the simplest way to reach hotels and venues in the heart of the city without risking fines.
Practical tips
- For the historic centre, the most convenient staffed taxi ranks are on Corso Palladio (Castello), Piazza Matteotti, in front of the Stazione FS and the Ospedale San Bortolo: you can set off from there even without a phone booking.
- As an alternative to the local number 0444 920600, there is the single regional number of the Radio Taxi Veneto consortium (199 48 49 50), which also routes calls to the Vicenza cooperative: useful if you don't know the local area code, but check the call cost since it is a unified-network number.
- The historic centre's ZTL runs cameras around the clock at almost all checkpoints (except Corso Fogazzaro during night hours): the taxi remains the simplest way to enter the centre without risking fines, since it has reserved lanes and access points.
- Fares are not published as a fixed price list online: they are set by a resolution of the Giunta comunale (City Council) and applied via the meter, so for a reliable quote it's best to ask the call centre for an estimate or use the appTaxi app's fare calculator before setting off.
- For Verona-Villafranca airport there is no agreed fare to/from Vicenza: book in advance (by phone or app) and ask for a price indication before departure, especially for night or holiday flights.

How much does the ride from Verona airport to Vicenza cost?
There is no official fixed fare for this route: the airport's flat-rate fares only apply to the city of Verona. For Vicenza (about 45-50 km) it's best to ask for an estimate when booking or agree the price with an NCC (hire-with-driver) before departure.
Are Vicenza taxi fares the same for every ride?
