Prague Taxi Listing

1

Taxi drivers have a bad reputation in Prague. For some, the profession is almost synonymous with deception. Yet it is not exactly fair to tar all drivers with the same brush. There are still some good, reputable companies and other alternatives which we mention below.

Calling a company directly or booking via their application or website often not only guarantee a lower fee but also gives you an estimate of the price before your ride. Taxi apps such as Liftago, Uber and Bolt are growing in popularity. They are easy to use and help customers to avoid being cheated by dishonest drivers. Although services like Uber do offer a good alternative to taxi-scam artists, their service does not guarantee that you will get a licensed driver. Police often do raids on illegal foreign drivers driving Uber without permits and without the required licenses. New transport legislation is underway and hopefully will help sort out those problems soon.

For transport to/from Prague Airport, use Prague Airport Transfers for the price of a regular taxi.

And remember, beware hailing a cab! Specifically, in highly frequented tourist areas, such as Old Town Square, Karlova Street, or the train station.

List of Major Taxi Companies Operating Taxi Services in Prague

AAA Radiotaxi

One of the oldest taxi companies in Prague. They used to be best choice over the last two decades but now their service is lacking the esteem they used to have. Not very knowledgeable drivers and decent vehicles, but still reliable.

Prague Airport Transfers

Best choice if you wish to save and get the best transfer from or to the airport.

Mostly operating at the fleet airport under the name Tick Tack.

Phone: +420 737 222 333; www.modryandel.cz

Tick Tack

Company was bought by Taxi Praha. They provide luxurious cars, Audi A6, in white color. At the airport they provide their service by Skoda Superb cars. Good but expensive service.

Phone: +420 14222; www.ticktack.cz

Alternative companies

Uber – well-known application. For the cheaper Uber POP service, you usually get a car in just a few minutes. Drivers mostly do not know the city and rely fully on the navigation. Good for inner city rides.

Bolt – on some occasions cheaper than Uber. Most drivers working for Uber work for Bolt as well. The difference is mainly with pricing.

Liftago – something like a Czech Uber, but the price is set by each driver and determined by auctions. They use licensed taxi drivers with cars marked as TAXI. Mostly significantly more expensive than Uber or Bolt.

Lyft – Unfortunately, Lyft isn’t available in Prague or any other city in Europe.
