Taxi
Taxi stands are located at major intersections and in front of bigger hotels. Passengers can
choose any of the available taxis at a taxi stand. However, it is better to order taxis by phone
than to hail on the street because the prices differ enormously depending on the taxi
operator. In order to avoid misunderstandings, be sure check the price list before sitting in
the taxi or ordering the car in the first place. It is not necessary to pay more than 35 EEK
starting fare and 7 EEK per km. You can compare the price lists at www.taksod.net.
Make sure that the taxi driver holds an operator’s card – a white plastic card with the
driver’s photo and name, attached to the middle of the dashboard. To lodge complaints or
make suggestions, contact the Tallinn Transport Department’s Taxi Commission by e-mail
tta@tallinnlv.ee, or by phone 1345 – City Advice Telephone (24-hour hotline).
