Taxis in Granada

 

Basic Information about Taxis

Taxis in Granada are white with a green stripe and are not expensive. There are two taxi companies operating in the centre of Granada: TELERADIO TAXI (958 280 654) and RADIOTAXI GENIL (958 132 323). A different company operates the service from Granada airport to the city centre. It is not possible to order taxis in advance. Unfortunately, the taxi companies do not speak English. They use a semi-automated system: you speak to an operator to say where you are, you then listen to music while the operator contacts taxis near you, and finally, you will hear a fast, recorded message either saying that " Taxi number xxx is on its way" (El taxi número xxx está en camino) or that "No taxis are available at the moment. Please try again in 5 minutes. If you don't speak Spanish, it is sometimes difficult to understand what they have said.

Official Taxi Fares in the Centre of Granada

Prices are controlled by the Andalusian Government so both companies have the same prices in the centre of Granada. When you get into the taxi, the taxi metre will show a 1 or 2 depending on the time zone. The taximeter will show a starting price which will then increase with distance and time. In the centre of Granada, times, days and holidays are all programmed into the taximeter so you just pay the price shown. The times for the two tariffs are shown below.

LOST PROPERTY
If you leave anything in a taxi, someone may hand it in and it is always worth phoning the taxi companies to see if they have found something. As taxi drivers tend to work the same shifts, it is a good idea to phone the next day at the same time and quote where you were picked up and your destination.
