Taxi Bratislava Prague: tips and recommendations

There is no doubt that taking a taxi to get from Bratislava to Prague airport, from Prague airport to Bratislava, or - in general - any place in Bratislava to any place in Prague, is the most convenient mode of transport. 

Nevertheless, if you decide to take a taxi, it is necessary to take into account the higher prices. The second downside is that some taxi drivers try to prey on unsuspecting tourists and charge them double or even triple prices. How to avoid this tourist trap, especially if you decide to travel by taxi from Bratislava to Prague or vice versa?

• Always order a taxi in advance (e.g. via phone, an app or online), try to avoid stopping a taxi in the street or getting one at taxi stands close to “tourist hot spots”, which the airport definitely is.
   
• Prefer taxis which are affiliated with a company. These taxis carry a sign with the name of a taxi service on the side of the car and are generally a cheaper and safer option than unmarked cars with only a yellow taxi light on the roof. It is highly recommended to never accept transfer services from random individuals.
   
• For companies offering their services for long-distance transport, there is often a fixed rate for the journey, which is given in advance. Nevertheless, in other cases the total price is determined from the taxi meter based on the distance or the journey time. Therefore, always check the taximeter immediately after getting into the taxi.
   
• You are entitled to be issued a receipt. The receipt must include: the price, where from and where to, the license plate number of the car, identification number of the driver and / or the company. If a taxi company runs an app or it is ordered online, the receipt can also be issued electronically or sent via email. 

These recommendations apply in general whenever you are going to travel by taxi.
