Cost of a taxi service in Nashville

The official taxi tariffs were put in place by the City Council of Nashville in January 2012. All Nashville cab drivers must adhere to these rates and must use an officially calibrated taximeter to ensure this happens. The cost of a Nashville taxi ride will depend on the distance you travel and will be calculated using the following rates:

Base fare: $3 (€2.70)

Price per km: $1.25 (€1.13)

However, if you’re taking a taxi from Nashville Airport to downtown, there’s a set rate fare of $25 (€23). There are also extra charges for things, i.e. fees for every additional passenger after the first ($1 (€0.90)) and for every minute waiting upon request ($0.30 (€0.27)).
