Ibiza taxi prices
Ibiza taxi prices are typically calculated by using a taximeter and the main factors affecting the total fare are distance traveled, time of day, and day of the week. However, it’s common for local drivers to refuse to use it or claim it’s broken and offer a fixed fare based on the destination and number of passengers, especially to tourists who don’t speak Spanish.
When using a taximeter, the taxi price in Ibiza is calculated with the following rates;
Tariff 1 (Monday to Friday 07:00-21:00)
Minimum fare – €4
Rate/km – €1.21
Waiting time/h – €21.70
Tariff 2 (Monday to Friday 21:00-07:00, weekends 15:00-07:00, holidays)
Base fare – €3.75
Rate/km – €1.47
Waiting time/h – €26.57
Additional charges include a €2 airport fee and a €1.45 fee for booking a taxi over the phone. Luggage can be transferred free of charge and tipping isn’t mandatory.
As a reference, for a 5-km ride with a taxi in Ibiza the price is around €9 to €12 for up to 4 passengers. For a trip from Ibiza Airport to Ibiza Town you can expect to pay around €19 to €22 and from Ibiza Airport to San Antonio around €33 to €38.
In any case, it’s recommended to check that the taximeter is working or agree on the total fare before getting in the taxi to avoid being overcharged. Alternatively, you can pre-book an Ibiza taxi to secure a fixed fare that you will know in advance.

How to get a taxi in Ibiza
Taxi service is a popular transportation option and finding a taxi in Ibiza any time during the day is relatively easy, except for late at night when hundreds of people are leaving the nightclubs. Official taxis are white with a green line painted on each side and the typical ‘TAXI’ sign on the roof.
If the taxi sign is lit green, the taxi is available and you can wave to the driver and they will pull over to pick you up. If you don’t see any taxis nearby, you can look up the nearest taxi rank on a map application on your mobile. There are several taxi ranks in Ibiza Town usually near main hotels, like the Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza and The Ibiza Twiins, nightclubs, central squares, and transportation hubs.
How to get a taxi from Ibiza Airport
The official taxi rank at Ibiza Airport is on the Ground Floor right in front of the passenger terminal after exiting the Arrivals Hall. You will see a long line of white taxis available for hire; just walk to the first taxi in line or wait in the queue if there is one. The average fare for a taxi from Ibiza Airport to the city center is around €19 to €22 and the trip takes around 10 minutes.
How to get a taxi from Eivissa Harbor
Eivissa Harbor is on the east side of the city and there is a taxi rank west of the port exit on Avinguda de Santa Eulària des Riu. Drivers usually monitor ferry arrivals and line up at the taxi rank so you can find a taxi there 24/7.
How to get a taxi from Estació Marítima Eivissa-Botafoc
The Botafoc maritime station is located south of the port of Ibiza and it’s an important port on the island. The nearest taxi rank is right outside the passenger terminal, past the white gate, and drivers line up there whenever there is a scheduled arrival.
How to choose an Ibiza taxi app
Using an Ibiza taxi app can be a convenient way to secure service in more remote areas or when you don’t see any taxis around and you don’t want to walk to the nearest taxi rank. However, the options are limited and the most popular taxi app in Ibiza is a local app called TaxiClick. It operates like most taxi-hailing apps but last-minute cancelations are common, especially late at night when people wish to visit the nightclubs. Uber is also available in Ibiza but it’s less popular as there aren’t many drivers available.
To ensure reliable service 24/7 anywhere in Ibiza, you can choose Welcome Pickups to book your Ibiza Airport taxi or any other ride around the island. You can easily pre-book your door-to-door transportation via the online booking form and enjoy peace of mind throughout your trip with English-speaking drivers and fixed fares.
Useful Ibiza taxi numbers
Calling an Ibiza taxi number is another convenient option if you want to stay put and be picked up from wherever you are. Most hotels should be able to call a taxi on your behalf but note that they may affiliate with private operators that are usually more expensive.
If you want to call an Ibiza taxi number yourself, you can call the main Radio Taxi number for the whole island except Ibiza Town, which is +34 971 33 33 33.
Additional numbers you can call depending on the area of service are the following;
- Nitax Ibiza Town: +34 971 45 45 45

- Radio Taxi Formentera: +34 971 32 23 42
Benefits of booking an Ibiza taxi in advance
Although the Ibiza taxi service is available around the clock, demand is higher during the high season from June through August. This means that you could waste valuable time waiting for an available taxi, especially when traveling from the airport to your accommodation.
To avoid the hassle and secure a comfortable ride wherever you are, the best option is to pre-book your Ibiza Airport transfer with a reliable operator like Welcome Pickups. That way you can enjoy top-rated service right from the start with a professional English-speaking driver waiting for you right after landing. Also, with modern vehicles, fixed fares, and 24/7 customer support, you can rely on Welcome for seamless transportation throughout your trip.
Ibiza taxi tips
- Make sure to wear proper clothing as taxi drivers usually don’t pick up passengers wearing wet swimsuits or carrying towels covered in sand from the beach.
- Sedan taxis can usually accommodate up to 4 passengers but minivans are also available at most taxi ranks and the airport.
- Once you get in the taxi, make sure that the taxi driver resets the taximeter to the base fare or confirm with them the total fare upfront.
- Most taxi drivers don’t speak fluent English so write down anything important in Portuguese or show your destination on a map app on your mobile.
- Paying by card is not always possible so it’s best to confirm payment options before getting in the taxi.
- Tipping your driver isn’t required or expected in Ibiza but it’s common to round up the total fare or add 5% to 10% if you enjoyed the service.
- You can ask for a receipt in case you need to file a complaint or claim a lost item.
Wheelchair-accessible taxi in Ibiza
Standard taxis in Ibiza can fit a folding wheelchair in the trunk but are not fully accessible to wheelchair users. However, there are many adapted taxis around the island and you can book one by calling the Radio Taxi number of the area you’re in. For example, for rides from the airport, you can call Radio Taxi de San José at +34 971 800 080. Keep in mind that the total number of adapted taxis is limited so the earlier you make your booking, the better the chances to secure a ride.
Ibiza taxi safety and complaints
Using Ibiza taxi service is generally safe any time during the day but it’s always a good idea to stay cautious and avoid sketchy taxis or drivers. A common scam is drivers trying to overcharge tourists by refusing to use the taximeter and offering fixed fares that are usually much higher than the metered fare. If that happens to you, you can refuse the ride and take another taxi.
If you encounter any pricing issues during the ride and you wish to file a complaint, you can address the company the driver works for if you booked the service online or over the phone. To report the driver for inappropriate behavior, reckless driving, or anything else requiring immediate action, you can call the national emergency number at +34 112 or the local Police at +34 092. In any case, make sure to write down the driver’s name, registration number, and license plate.
