Where do I get a taxi from?

Convenience

Nothing beats jumping into a taxi after a long flight and being dropped off directly at your accommodation. If you are traveling with young children or have a lot of luggage, a taxi will once again be the most convenient on-demand way to get to your accommodation. That said, there may be a wait for a taxi during busy periods. In which case, you may prefer to book a private transfer in advance instead.

Editor’s Note

Great for a convenient travel solution on demand.

Useful Tips

Rogue and unlicensed taxi drivers operate in Gdansk, so always make sure you are using a registered taxi company for your transfers. Official taxis have their company name and telephone number on the doors and the vehicle’s roof.
It is worth asking your driver for a fixed-rate fare as they often quote a better price than a metered transfer.
Taxi rates increase once you leave the city limits. If you plan on taking a long taxi ride, it would be best to negotiate a fixed-rate fare, so you will know exactly what you will be paying for.
