The only ones you negotiate with are the Grand taxis. Petit taxis only take three people. Taxis can be difficult to get during rush hours, 8 - 9.30, 12 - 2 (that’s when they change over drivers too) and 5 - 6.30.

At night, they charge 50% more. Rides in the medina are generally about six dirhams, from the New Town to the medina generally about ten dirhams.

Make sure you have small change.

Getting a taxi from the medina to the airport on the meter is about 25 dirhams, but getting one from the airport to the medina is negotiable. Published tarif is about 60 dirhams, but you may have to pay 100, depending on number of people and amount of luggage and time of day.

After that, how much you tip is up to you.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10601 Forres Park, Mavis Bank http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9743 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9743 Taxis http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9531
If you need a taxi to the airport you can schedule one with Libertaxi (registered clients get a discount of 20% off on fares over 15 reais). If you meet a driver you particularly like you can negotiate with him for a rate for a full day of driving around the city, or even up to Petropolis (the former summer capital) and back.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9531 Not getting in a taxi http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5039 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5039 Care with taxis http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5000 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5000 Prague airport shuttle http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4952 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4952 Avoiding taxis as much as possible http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4938 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4938 Always call radio taxis http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4035 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4035 Taking taxis http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3946
It was completely unnecessary to negotiate a price in advance, and quite the opposite of what we'd been led to believe. We were told never to hail them off the street, but we always did.

It is a very well-run operation.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2676 City Taxis http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5435 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5435 Using pre-booked taxis http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4968 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4968 Taxis http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4962
- never take a taxi that is unmarked (except for the light on top), including the white taxis lined up at the airport; these are mafia run and will rip you off

- taxis are always cheaper if you call in advance - get some numbers from your hotel/hostel, or have the bar call for you

- some reputable companies: BudaTaxi; 6x6 Taxi; Taxi 4; RadioTaxi. There are others, but in six years I've never gone wrong with these

- it's a good idea to keep a card with your address written down on it]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4962
