Tallinn Taxis

Getting a taxi that wont rob you blind is probably one of the biggest concerns for tourists, and Tallinn is one place where you will want to be careful. Tallinn’s taxi market is fairly deregulated, and there is no set price. Before catching a cab, take a look at the yellow sticker on the back passenger window, which will state a base fare, per km fare (day and night) and waiting time fare. The problem for a tourists that it is hard to know if these prices are good or bad, so it’s probably best to book a taxi by phone with a reliable company. You can ask your hotel, who will probably have an arrangement with a company, so they may not order the cheapest or best taxi. So here are some companies that EstAdventures have used ourselves in Tallinn.

• Krooni Takso – They don’t have the newest cabs in Tallinn, but they are clean, reliable and cheap. They are the value option of the EstAdventures recommendations. This is the company we use ourselves.
  7.50 per km * 40 base fare * 239/hr waiting fare.  Phone: 1212
• Tulika – The biggest and best known Taxi company in Tallinn. They have bought the rights to many taxi stands outside hotels and shopping centres and have a lot of cabs, so they’re easy to track down.
  9.40/11.00 per km * 45 Base fare * 200/hr waiting fee. Phone 1200
• Tallink Takso – The new kids on the block, from the same company that does the ferrys and owns several large Tallinn hotels. They’re the most expensive of our reconsiderations, but they’re cars are all brand new and are the drivers are very good. Consider them the luxury option!
  10.90/13.50 per km * 48 base fare * 239/hr waiting fee. Phone: 1921
