Treviso Airport (TSF) Taxis

Treviso Airport is a well established Italian airport just outside of the city of Treviso, and is also only 20km, or 12 miles from the famous city of Venice. Around two million passengers pass through the airport every year, and it is well equipped with a variety of facilities. The airline company of Ryanair refers to the airport as the Treviso Venice Airport, and many use the airport’s name of Treviso-Sant’Angelo. It is also known as the Canova Airport, after the Italian artist Antonio Canova, and has the code of TSF. Treviso taxis are readily available from outside the terminal building, and are a quick way to reach any destination. Taxis can be expensive but are more convenient than the bus services.

The airport has a new, single terminal building which is well equipped for the needs of it’s passengers, and there are a number of transport options for arriving and departing passengers. Although the airport has no train station of it’s own, there are a couple of bus services which take passengers to the nearby railway stations, and there are always taxis waiting in the taxi rank of the airport. Taxis are found just outside of the arrival area, and they are convenient for trips to many locations, nearby and further away. Taxis are often preferred by passengers who would like to quickly reach their destination, and by those who rather avoid the hustle of public transportation. A taxi will be able to drop you at the doorstep of your residence, hotel or place of business, and is therefore very convenient.

The taxi company authorized to provide transport from the terminal is Treviso Radio Taxi (CO.TA.TRE), and no other taxi services should be used. It is often the case at Italian airports that unauthorized taxi drivers try to find passengers in the arrival area. These services should be declined, as they may not meet the higher standards of the taxi company permitted by the airport authorities. There will be a greater chance of being overcharged for the service, and their vehicles may not be properly licensed or roadworthy. There may also be no official number to contact should complaints arise. Always go to the taxi rank outside the terminal building, where the vehicles of the airport taxi company will be waiting. However, if you have reserved a taxi, the driver may be waiting for you in the arrival hall, holding a sign with your name on it.

Although there are generally taxis available, especially after arrival flights, the taxi company at Treviso Airport can be contacted in advance for a reservation. Their number is +39 0422 43 15 15.
