A taxi wins over a rental car in that the drivers know the island like the back of their hand. You can relax and even take a nap along the way, and not follow the road and check with the navigator every hundred meters. Taxi in Cyprus is popular with tourists, because it is much faster and more convenient than a bus.
People go on vacation for various reasons. Fatigue at work and the desire to briefly throw off the burden of responsibility. Parents take their children to the sea to bathe and eat fresh fruit. Some plan to sunbathe lazily on the beach, while others get more emotions as a keepsake.
Although vacation plans differ, there is something that unites tourists. The desire to have a good time on vacation. And this should be taken care of in advance. Make a list of things to take with you. Think about how you will get to your hotel upon arrival. Will you look for and wait for a bus, catch a car or decide to book a transfer in Cyprus. Buses do not take passengers to the addresses they need, but stop exclusively at bus stops. On the island, in principle, the system of urban transport is poorly developed, so tourists often rent a car or use taxi services.
Which taxi to choose
You bought plane tickets, booked a hotel and the question arose before you – which taxi in Cyprus is better, where exactly to look for a car.
Taxi cars often stand on the embankment, near city attractions, at specialized parking lots at the airport, which are usually located to the right of the exit. So why is pre-booking a taxi better than finding a car on the spot?
Not all of these drivers are licensed to drive taxis. A licensed driver and vehicles that are regularly inspected are the key to your safety.
If you are traveling with children or just a large group, there is a risk of looking for a car of the right size or one that has a child car seat for a long time. Not every driver carries them with him in the trunk.
For 3-4 people with luggage, including children, it is enough to choose a sedan (cars are presented in the economy and comfort class). For more passengers in our fleet there are minivans (up to 7 passengers) and minibuses (up to 19 people).
When you place an order for a taxi in Cyprus in advance, indicate all your wishes:
Capacity in the taxi car
Place and time of delivery
The presence and number of child seats or a trailer for bulky luggage.
Some taxi drivers in Cyprus shamelessly inflate prices during verbal dialogue. Therefore, it is more profitable to order a taxi or a transfer from the airport to the city on the official website, so you can immediately see the final cost of the upcoming trip.
To see how much it will cost a trip in any direction, 2 minutes is enough. On the Cyprus Taxi website, indicate the place where to deliver the car and the end point of the proposed route.
Also, a complete section with routes and prices can be found at the link to taxi routes.
How to order a taxi in Cyprus
In 2022, there are several ways to call a taxi in Cyprus.
Fill out the form on the Cyprus Taxi Services website. You will receive a confirmation email to the email address you provide on the application form. So make sure you write it without mistakes.
Additional advantages of online ordering include the absence of a language barrier. Although our drivers are fluent in English, Russian and Greek, if you wish, you can not speak at all. The driver knows where to pick you up from and will deliver you to the desired address with comfort.
If you forgot your bag, phone, toy or any other thing in the taxi, it doesn’t matter. It is enough to contact the support service to return it. And if the driver notices the forgotten earlier, then our company will contact you and return the loss.
