Pula is a vibrant seafront city located in the Istria region of Croatia. With Roman historical sights and untouched beaches, it’s a wonderful city break destination with so much to do. That’s why you need a safe, comfortable, and reliable way of getting around. The best way? A Pula taxi or private transfer. Taxis in Pula are available 24/7 and are generally considered the safest way to move from point A to B in the city. You can call a local taxi number, hail a cab on the street, or book a transfer in advance online.

Pula taxi prices

Pula taxi drivers calculate their fares using a taximeter, so the fare will vary depending on the distance travelled, the time of day, and the presence or absence of luggage. 

The day tariff is €1.80 per km. This rate runs from 05:00 to 22:00. 
The night tariff is an extra 20% between 22:00 and 05:00, which also applies on public holidays.
The extra charge for luggage is between €0.50 and €1.
There is a minimum tariff of €4.95 regardless of the time of day.

Generally, a taxi in Pula won’t offer set-rate fares. However, if you are travelling outside of the city to nearby towns like Rovinj, Rijeka or Umag, the taxi may offer you a fixed rate. 

If you’d like a set-rate fare for all of your transport in Pula, consider booking a private transfer with a top-rated service like Welcome Pickups in advance.

Pula taxi tips

Wheelchair-accessible taxis in Pula

Wheelchair-accessible taxis are rare in Pula. Most Pula taxis are four-seater sedans that are not equipped to carry wheelchairs. If you need an adapted taxi, it’s best to pre-book a private transfer to ensure the availability of an appropriate vehicle. Contacting a local travel agency or tour operator and specifying your requirements would be a good place to start.

Pula taxi safety and complaints

Pula is generally considered quite safe with a low crime rate. As a tourist, you’re more likely to encounter issues on public buses than in taxis. Having said that, unlicensed taxi drivers are common, so it’s essential to avoid unofficial drivers and only use taxi vehicles where you can see the taximeter and rate card before starting your journey. 

If you have any problems while travelling in a Pula taxi, you can contact the local police using the following numbers:
Pula Transport Police: +385 52 538 738
Istrian Police Administration: +385 52 532 111

Frequently asked questions

How will my Pula taxi driver calculate the trip’s fare?

Your Pula taxi driver will calculate the trip’s fare using a taximeter. The cost is calculated based on the distance travelled, the presence of luggage, and the time of day. You can expect to pay €1.80 per km. That rate increases by 20% during night hours and public holidays. There can be some price discrepancies between operators though, due to unlicensed or untrustworthy drivers overcharging tourists. If you want the peace of mind of a set-rate fare, consider booking your transfers in advance.

Are Pula taxis reliable?

Pula taxis are generally quite reliable. However, the wait for a taxi can be long during busy periods – especially if you require a wheelchair-accessible vehicle or a minivan for a larger group. If you want a guaranteed reliable service with no wait times, a private transfer with a company like Welcome Pickups is the way to go.
