In the Czech Republic, taxi fares are set by the authorities of cities or counties. The taxi fares for Prague were last set in February 2020 and published in the official tariff ordinance.<\/p>\n It is binding for all taxis and taxi companies within the compulsory driving area and may not be exceeded or undercut.<\/p>\n This is ensured with officially calibrated taximeters installed in the taxis.<\/p>\n Payment is usually cash, however some taxis accept credit cards. If you use cashless payment, an identification document must be shown at the driver’s request.<\/p>\n The passenger is entitled to a receipt. This receipt must be issued to the passenger from the printer of the taximeter.<\/p>\n Most taxi drivers speak no or very little English. If you are lucky, you will come across a driver who knows English.<\/p>\n Due to possible communication difficulties, it is recommended to write the destination address on a piece of paper and show it to the driver.<\/p>\n Specifying a major landmark, such as a landmark near the desired destination, is very helpful, as is specifying the neighborhood.<\/p>\n Those who wish can follow the route in Google Map.<\/p>\n In the center of Prague, the basic fee for rides in electric taxis are 70 Czech crowns (about 2.80 euros), the price per kilometer is 39 Czech crowns (about 1.55 euros), and the short distance costs is 70 Czech crowns.<\/p>\n There is an obligation to transport, each passenger must be driven to any desired destination, as long as it is within the city limits. The taxi driver is obliged to drive the shortest and therefore the cheapest route, unless another route has been agreed.<\/p>\n There is a general no-smoking rule for drivers and passengers in taxis.<\/p>\n Tipping is not a must, but is expected. A 5 – 10% tip is within reason.<\/p>\n There are numerous taxi stops in Prague, but usually taxis are ordered via app. If you want to order a taxi by phone, you can find the numbers of some major taxi stops here.<\/p>\n Be sure to ask the front desk of your hotel to help you order a taxi. <\/p>\n Through these taxi apps, you can order a taxi online:The best known is AAA radiotaxi s.r.o, cab.eu or Liftago, and Taxi.Taxicap.cz<\/p>\n In these taxis you can usually pay without cash.<\/p>\n Be sure to use a taxi app to order a taxi and do not flag down a taxi on the side of the road.<\/p>\n Of course, a taxi can also be pre-ordered, either by phone or by mobile app. Your hotel will be happy to help you order a taxi.<\/p>\n The company UBER has its headquarters in San Francisco, USA. It is a US service company that arranges transportation services online in many cities around the world.<\/p>\n Once you have downloaded the app on your phone, you can use the UBER services. When you order an UBER, you will be told the price for the route you want. Payment is made by credit card, Eurocard, PayPal, or with Google Play.<\/p>\n We strongly recommend all visitors to use the services of UBER instead of calling a taxi.<\/p>\n Complaints about taxi drivers can be made in writing to the Magistrate of the City of Prague. In any case, please note the license number on the door and indicate from where and to where you were transported at taxi@praha.eu, or posta@praha.eu.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n There are many different taxi companies in Prague.
