Once you enter the taxi, check that the taximeter is set to the base fare of €3.90 and ensure you ask for your receipt at the end of the ride.
Standard taxis that you take from the rank are unlikely to be equipped with a baby/child seat; make sure to bring your own if you need one.
You don't have to tip your taxi driver but for longer routes, it's customary to do so and it's highly appreciated.
