Taxis

Taxi prices in Prague are not regulated. Cab drivers can charge whatever they like, as long as they post their price-per-kilometer, usually on the door. It's a good idea to agree on a price with the driver before committing to the ride. As in many big cities, cab drivers sometimes prey on foreigners who are unfamiliar with the language or currency. Whenever possible it's better to call for a taxi in advance. An approximate price for the ride can be provided over the phone by the dispatcher. Two usually reliable companies whose dispatchers speak English are AAA Taxi (Tel: 10 80) and ProfiTaxi (Tel: 2213 5555).
