Finding a taxi in Prague

Finding a Prague taxi can be easy, but finding the right one might be a little more difficult. Many visitors to Prague report of scams and jacked-up fares. Taxis stopped on the street are in fact quite unlikely to give you a fair price, unless you are a very good negotiator, fluent in Czech.

Offical taxi cabs have roof signs, and the company name and license number should be printed on both front doors.

Taxis can be found at taxi stands or flagged down on the streets. Taxis ordered by phone are more reliable however, and also generally cheaper; contact information for the major companies are found below.

General taxi fares in Prague

Taxi prices in Prague aren't regulated, but the start-up fare should be about 25 Kc, and then 22 Kc per kilometer, when riding with a major company. With independent taxi drivers, you better clearly state the price you're prepared to pay before you close the door, even writing it down on a piece of paper to avoid confusion and getting ripped off. Always ask for a receipt after your trip, if you need to make any complaints afterwards.
