Not true! Pre-book with City Taxi. See my airport transfer tip. Ensure that the meter is running in the taxi when you set off. (061) 2111 111

Recently the city council made it mandatory for taxi companies to have a flat rate for airport transfer to stop tourists being ripped off. Each taxi has a different flat rate, the most expensive I’ve heard is 5000Ft (City taxi, which most hotels use), the cheapest is 3500Ft with 555 taxis. Ask at the airport information desk and they will provide you with a list of taxi numbers. Phone and order a taxi from one that’s available and the cheapest. Failing that, take the airport minibus.

Disagree too! Don't get one off the streets, get the bar/hotel/restaurant to call you one.
