Ankara Taxi Prices
Taxis in Ankara do not offer fixed fees, but instead, use a taximeter to calculate each ride’s fare, based on variables such as distance and duration. It should be noted that, although safe to use, taxis in the area are poorly regulated, so an Ankara taxi price can differ depending on the operator. For your peace of mind, it is recommended to book in advance with a reputable taxi provider instead of hailing a cab on the street.
When using a local Ankara taxi, we recommend that you ask your hotel concierge or search online so that you have an average fare in mind before starting your ride. Also, it’s a good idea to agree upon an estimated fare with the driver, specify what route you want to take, and keep track of the taximeter during the ride.
Day & night rates
Initial fare: €0.27 (TRY 5.00)
Price per km: €0.20 (TRY 3.70)
Local taxi rates are subject to change and there could be additional charges such as bridge tolls.

Ankara taxi safety and complaints
Taking a taxi in Ankara is generally considered safe, but local taxis are not well-regulated. For this reason, visitors are advised against hailing taxis on the street, as it is safer and more reliable to secure a ride, via phone or online, with a trusted taxi company. If you face any issues and want to file a formal complaint about a taxi company or driver, you can try calling the citizens’ helpline at +90 (212) 153 00 00, or walk into one of the police stations in Ankara. Make sure you get the license plates of the taxi — found on the vehicle’s front, back, and sides, so that you can file your complaint with enough information.
