Taxis in Granada

Basic Information about Taxis

Taxis in Granada are white with a green stripe and are not expensive. There are two main taxi companies operating in the centre of Granada: TELERADIO TAXI (958 280 650) and RADIOTAXI GENIL (958 281 065). 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.

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.
