Taxi in Warsaw - at the airport and in the city

Taxis in Warsaw are relatively inexpensive compared to other European countries. There are many companies in Warsaw, and it seems to me that you can safely go to any one. But they do not recommend traveling with private traders, I met such advice on the forum, they say, they can take extra kilometers or somehow wind up the counter. While after a taxi ride, you can complain to the company management if something goes wrong.

The airport

Everything is simple at the airport. Leave the arrivals area immediately onto the street and there are people in uniform who hail a taxi. The taxi arrives immediately, they are standing nearby and just waiting for the signal. Driving on the counter, you can pay with a bank card, but it is better to warn in advance. Once they got so hit, the terminal did not work for the taxi driver. They can also accept euros, but at what rate, I don’t know.

Alternatively, before taking a taxi, you can go to the information desk, it is right next to the exit from the departure area. But all they told me there was, they say, go out and approach the person to the form.

For landing they will take 5 pln, for bulky things 10 pln. Everything else is on the counter. A good cost of 1.8-2 pln per kilometer (like that of Grosik Taxi), the price tag usually hangs on the car door. We paid for a trip from the airport to the Mokotow area (it takes about 30 minutes to drive) 40-50 pln. By the way, at night many have a night tariff..

In the town

Grosik Taxi (phone 22-646-4646, call + 48-22-646-4646 from a Russian SIM card)
City Taxi (phone 848-8888 or 19459)

It is usually recommended to use these two companies. I can't say anything about the second one, since they themselves used Grosik Taxi 5 times. No complaints, I liked everything, they always arrived quickly, about 10 minutes after the call. The operator spoke English every time, although there is not much to say there, just give his address and his name. By the way, they write down the number, and the second time they didn't ask for my name 🙂
