Taxis in Tallinn

In Estonia each taxi company set the prices because there is not a fixed rate for this public service, so you can find very different prices not only as start price, but also in terms of  kroons per kilometer.

First of all, the best option is to call a taxi company and ask for a car. If you take the taxi in the street or in a taxi stand it is going to be more expensive but, if you use your phone, you will have to select between 47 different numbers to call.

All about average prices

Depending on the company, the price per kilometer goes from 3,5 EEK till 42 EEK. The most common price is 5,9 EEK/km, and the 46% of the companies have their rate between 5 and 5,9 kroons/km.

About the taxis’ start price, you can pay from 24 kroons till 144 EEK. 40% of the companies have the price fixed between 24 and 29 kroons, and in the 21% of them you will pay 35 kroons as start price.
Only five companies have this figure higher than 49 kroons.

We cannot forget that during the night the prices per kilometer are higher in some companies, normally around 2 kroons more than during the day.

Another thing that we have to keep in mind is the number of taxis that the companies have.

If you are in a hurry, for example, even if it is more expensive you can call Linnatakso or Tulika Takso because they have 100 cars working.

However, do not call Edu Takso because, even if it is in the average price range, it has only 3 taxis. Most of the companies have among 20 and 80 cars.

Who offers me the best price?

Although the start price is also important, we are going to use the rate of EEK/km to do the list of the five cheapest taxi companies in Tallinn.
