Larnaca Airport taxi fares: Prepaid vs. metered and what you actually pay
A prepaid Welcome transfer for €24 lets you travel with confidence, knowing all fees have already been paid and your booking is confirmed instantly.
You can request a quote from us on our website or mobile app by selecting your travel dates, pickup and drop-off locations, passengers, and luggage. After that, you’ll be shown the total price for your trip and given the option to pay for your ride, so there’s no confusion.
If you decide to take a metered taxi instead, the fare starts at approximately €11.50. You also need to account for traffic delays, which can increase the final fare, as drivers often have to take longer routes to avoid the busy roads.
There are additional fees you should be aware of, including €1.40 per piece of luggage and an extra €2 if you travel on a public holiday. Remember, you’ll also have to queue at the taxi rank, and if several flights have landed in a short period, which is common during the high season, there will be greater competition for taxis.

Everything you need to know before your Larnaca Airport transfer
- Drivers are less readily available at Larnaca Airport during busy periods due to high demand, so you’ll have to wait longer for a ride. If traveling during the summer season, be sure to allow an additional 15 to 30 minutes on top of your travel time to account for waiting at the taxi stand.
- The roads in Larnaca are busier during rush hour, from 07:00 to 10:00 and from 15:30 to 19:30. For flights landing around these times, drivers may take alternative routes, which can be longer in distance and increase the total fare, making it safer to pre-book a ride with a fixed price.
- Cash is the preferred payment method when using taxis in Larnaca, although some drivers do accept card payments. To avoid any issues, it’s best to confirm with the driver which payment methods they accept before reaching your hotel.
- For families of five or six passengers, be aware that there is a 20% surcharge for vehicles carrying up to five passengers and a 40% surcharge for up to six passengers. These surcharges apply across the board for groups; the only way to avoid them is by arranging a ride with a company that offers set rates instead.
- Regulations are in place to prevent taxis from charging for air conditioning during trips. If you are asked to pay an additional fee, politely refuse, record the vehicle details, and report the driver.
