Not long time ago it was definatly risky to hire a taxi in Prague, but fortunatly since 1st of April 98, there are regulations. If you take a taxi for a trip within Prague and you do not go out of Prague's borders you can hire a cab without beeing scared if you pay attention to the following: Prior to setiing off, the taximeter must be reset and the figure 30 Kc will appear on the display. There is for all taxis within the city of Prague a regulated maximum rate: A One-off boarding charge is max. 30; 1 kilometer within the city bounderies is max. 22 Kc and Waiting is max. 4 Kc per miunute. Make sure you ask for a receipt before paying. Receipts have to be printed out by the taximeter since April 98 . Warning for Customers Stories of taxis taking the "scenic route" all around Prague abound, with fares going beyond 50 Euros. So be careful. Many sources recommend AAA Taxi (phone: 140-14) or Profi Taxi as being the most fair. It's best to call them and have them pick you up. You can also arrange a taxi to take you around to several destinations. Your hotel can set this up for you, but it'll cost more than just calling one as you need it. Each taxi has to be equipped with permanently installed yellow roof lamp with the TAXI sign in black letters. The
registration number, company name and the price list including the basic rate,
kilometer rate and one-minute-waiting rate must be displayed on both front doors
of the cab. These prices must correspond with the prices set on the meters in
the cabs. After the journey is completed, the customer has the right to ask the taxi driver for an orderly and fully filled receipt for the payment. The receipt has to be issued by the taxameter printer. Taxis ordered through the dispatcher are cheaper Selected Nonstop
