1) Instead of taking a taxi on the street, use the marked taxi stations.

2) Write down the registration number and the number on the door of the taxi.

3) Check the price written on the taxi doors. The maximum rate in Prague in 28 CZK/km.

4) Check whether the taximeter is working. Check the receipt for whether the driver charged you the standard tariff.

5) Make sure that the receipt contains personal details of the driver. If the driver refuses to give you the receipt, make sure you know the registration number and the number on the door.

Prague taxis are very shady, and should be taken as a last resort - there's plenty of public transport (but always buy a valid ticket). If you have to take a taxi, order one from AAA. They are the most honest and reliable I found in the city, and they have English speaking dispatchers. Just tell them where you are and they'll send a taxi, normally within 10-15 minutes.

Triple A taxis, or to give the full name of the company, AAA, is the best, most reputable service in the city. When you arrive at the airport, dial 14014, they speak English, will tell you when the car will arrive, and where to wait. To the centre should cost around 500kč - 12 pounds. They are the choice of expats and natives alike.
