Murcia Taxi Tips

  1. In Murcia, it’s common to come across a taxi driver who doesn’t speak English, so make sure to have your address written down.
  2. Once you enter the taxi, check that the taximeter is set to the correct fare based on the time of day; Fare 1 applies from 07:00 to 22:00 and Fare 2 from 22:00 to 07:00, on weekends and holidays.
  3. Only taxi drivers registered in Murcia municipality are allowed to operate transfers from Murcia Airport; avoid taking a taxi that doesn’t have the license details on display.
  4. Most taxis in Murcia don’t accept card payments so make sure to have some cash with you; non-cash payment is available only if you have a Spanish bank account.
  5. Tipping the taxi driver isn’t expected but it’s customary to round up the amount.

Wheelchair Accessible Taxis in Murcia

Murcia is a wheelchair-friendly city for the most part with sights, public transport, and even beaches that are wheelchair accessible. Regular Murcia taxis don’t charge extra for taking a foldable wheelchair in the trunk. If you’re looking for a fully accessible taxi in Murcia, however, you need to book one in advance, as it is extremely unlikely to find one at the taxi ranks or in the street. Accessible taxis cost the same as regular taxis and are registered as “Eurotaxis”. You can pre-book one any time during the day by calling either Radio Taxi Murcia at +34 968 248 800 and specifying you need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle or Eutotaxi en Murcia at +34 968 10 57 10.

Murcia Taxi Safety and Complaints

Taxis in Murcia are very reliable and safe as they are strictly regulated by the state and the local police. Getting overcharged is quite uncommon, even if you’re not a local and don’t speak Spanish. However, in the unlikely event that you have any complaints or wish to report a taxi driver, make sure to keep the receipt at the end of the ride and write down their name, license number, and vehicle license plate. You can then contact the Murcia Local Police at +34 968 35 87 50 or the Murcia City Council at +34 968 358 600 and they will guide you on the next steps.
