The taxi pricelist of Athens
Hi to all,with that post we would like to provide you the ORIGINAL pricelist that the taxi drivers in Athens must Show to the locals and to the guests from all over the world.
So you can ask at any time this document from the driver so you can check by your own if you have been overcharged.Also some important notices are that there are some Fare Rides (Fix Prices) for the Airport transfers.E.g for the day time 05:00a.m - 23:59p.m the price to the airport is 38E and from 00:00a.m - 04:59 is 54E.
In cases you make an appoiment special from Hotels you maybe get charged the MAXIMUM amount of 6E. Most of taxi companies they dont charge nothing,and in some occasions maybe will charge some extra fee of 2E.
BE AWEARE WITH THE FLAT RATES WHY????
If you try to make a deal to the driver and eg from 54E the night price you agreed a amount of 45E instead..THIS IS NOT ALLOWED FROM THE MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION
and if the police in the control area of the airport finds that you did this kind of deal BOTH AND THE CUSTOMER AND THE DRIVER will face the law restrictions.
We suggest you to avoid all this and have a contact with
Is the taxi of athens cheap?
How much do taxis in other countries costs?
The taxi of athens comparing to other cities around the world is Very cheap
Is it true that Athens has the cheapest taxis in Europe? If you exclude Bulgaria, yes. But we also have the lowest wages, don't forget, huh? After comparing subway prices as a percentage of basic wages in Athens and other European countries, it is time to answer yet another burning question: Is it true that we have Europe's cheapest taxis?
Yes, with the well-known exception of Bulgaria, the short answer is. Mainly because we have the shortest night in Europe. Others when they say "night" do not mean after midnight, as we have been surprised to find.
To begin with, you know how much taxis in Athens do, right?
The "flag" (ie the original charge) drops to € 1.29, then we pay € 0.74 per kilometer from 5.00 am to midnight, and € 1.29 per kilometer from Midnight to 5.00 am .
In Paris…
Starting price at € 2.60, regardless of day and time.
Now look at what happens next: The daily (single tariff, we say here) is 1.05 € per kilometer, and the double, that is, 1.29 € per night. But: When Parisians say nocturnal they mean noon, they mean after 5pm, and by 10am the next morning.
And there's more: Saturday applies double all day, morning-evening, and Sunday "evening" (from 17.00 on Sunday afternoon to 10.00 on Monday morning) starting at € 1.56 per kilometer .
In Rome…
"Flag" at € 3 for the single tariff, at an incredible € 6.50 for the night. What do Roman nightlife travelers think? From 22.00 to 6.00 the next morning.
After the kilometers we do the following: We start at 1.10 € per kilometer until the taximeter reaches 11 € and then the second tariff is activated, at 1.30 € up to (total) 13 €. And from there, we have a third tariff at € 1.60 per kilometer. No nightly charge per kilometer.
In Madrid ...
Starting price € 2.10 per day, and € 2.95 per night. Where night, from 9pm to 6.00am. Price per kilometer in both cases 1 €. On Sundays the night tariff applies all day (flag at € 2.95 and € 1 per kilometer).
In Barcelona ...
Starting price 2.05 € per day, 0.93 € per kilometer per day and 1.18 € per night. You would expect that at night the Barcelona people would say something logical, but not: from 8pm until 8pm the next. Sunday Night Charge Morning-Evening.
In Berlin…
To begin with, there is no night and day tariff, no weekend charges. The price is one: € 3.90 the flag, then € 2.30 per kilometer for the first seven kilometers and from there upwards of € 1.65 per kilometer.
In London…
Base price 3,08 €, day and night, weekdays and weekends.
Then things get complicated: Daily charge from 2 € to 2.72 € per kilometer. Then there are two overnight rates: One from 20.00 to 22.00, which is from 2.47 € to 2.72 €, and one from 22.00 to 5.00 in the morning reaching 2.91 € per kilometer. On weekends the first night tariff applies all day and all night.
In Amsterdam…
A tariff to rule them all, which Tolkien would say: € 2.66 per flag and € 1.95 per kilometer. Simple things, 24 hours a day.
In Brussels…
And here's a single charge all hours, all days: € 4.98 initial, € 1.94 per kilometer.
In Lisbon…
The flag at € 3.25 per day, at € 3.90 per night. And the mile 0.47 € per day and 0.56 € per night. Evening there means from 9pm until 6.00am the following morning.
In Warsaw…
€ 1.86 starting price all hours, then € 0.70 per kilometer during the day and € 1.05 from 22.00 in the evening until 6.00 the next morning.
In Sofia…
The exchange rate of the lev to the euro (2 to 1) means that in general you will not notice the differences from day to night tariffs. They are, however, as follows: Flag always at 0.68 lev, and kilometer at 0.69 a day, at 0.75 at night. Where night, 22.00 to 6.00. For you of course all that means half a euro. Sundays apply throughout the day.
So finally from all that article you will reallise that YES WE ARE CHEAP..!!
