What's the cost of a Zakynthos taxi?

As with many small tourist towns in Greece, Zakynthos taxi drivers widely stick to a set price table for popular journeys to calculate their taxi price in Zakynthos, within and around the city. This price table is uniform and is used by all Zakynthos taxi drivers on the island. That said, some drivers still use a taximeter based on distance to calculate the price for rides that aren’t specified on the price table. If your taxi driver uses the taximeter, fares will be calculated as follows:
Base fare: €3.80
Price per km: €1.65

The following are the fixed Zakynthos taxi prices for some of the most popular routes around the city:
Airport to Zakynthos Town: €13
Zante Port to Kalamaki: €14
Zakynthos Town to Laganas: €13
Zakynthos Airport to Tsilivi: €25

Extra charges:
Additional fees will be added to your Zakynthos taxi prices for things such as keeping your driver waiting for an hour (€8), fitting baby seats (€8 per seat), traveling during public holidays, and large luggage items that can’t fit in the trunk of the vehicle.

How to get a Zakynthos taxi

When it comes to getting a taxi in Zakynthos, you have a few different options. You can hail a Zakynthos taxi in the street, walk to a taxi rank, pre-book your rides, call a phone dispatch taxi, or use a Zakynthos taxi app. Using the apps is great to avoid the hot afternoon sun, but if you’d prefer to walk to a rank, you can find a taxi rank in Zakynthos dotted around the city at all the major tourist stops, popular beaches, the bus station, Zante Airport, and Zakynthos port. You can spot the taxi ranks by looking for a long line of silver cars with the typical TAXI sign on top. 

How to get a taxi from Zakynthos Airport

There’s one large passenger terminal at Zakynthos Airport and the official taxi rank is outside the Arrivals Hall. The taxis at this rank are available 24 hours a day and offer fixed fares to all the popular locations in and around the city center. For example, taking a taxi from Zakynthos Airport to the city center will cost an affixed fare of €13. 

How to get a taxi from Port of Zakynthos 

Along the edge of the Port of Zakynthos, you will see a long and beautiful pedestrian promenade. Just past this promenade, you will see a line of silver Zakynthos taxis waiting to pick up passengers. The port taxi rank is located on the side of the road and all taxis from this rank offer fixed fares. 

Using a Zakynthos taxi app

There aren’t many taxi app options in Zakynthos. However, you do have two apps to choose from: CABCY and Bolt. CABCY can be used all over the city, any time of day, while the Bolt Zakynthos taxi app only works for journeys originating at the airport. 

Since there’s only one Zakynthos taxi app that can be used throughout the city, finding an available taxi on the app can be time-consuming and frustrating. To avoid these long wait times, you can pre-book your taxi in Zakynthos with a private company.

Useful Zakynthos taxi numbers

To avoid having to download another app to your phone, you can call a Zakynthos taxi number. There’s only one phone dispatch taxi available on the island and that’s Zante Taxi: +30 (269) 504 8400. From the 1st of May until the 31st of October this company operates 24 hours a day.

Booking your Zakynthos taxi in advance

To secure friendly, English-speaking drivers, amazing set-rate fees and reliable pick-up times, we recommend booking your Zakynthos taxi with a world-renowned company such as Welcome Pickups.

Zante taxi tips

  1. Make sure your driver resets their taximeter to the base fare of €3.80 before you begin your journey.
  2. Most Zakynthos taxi drivers don’t speak English, so it’s important to write down your destination just in case. To secure an English-speaking driver, you can book your service with a private company.
  3. If you’re worried that your driver is taking the wrong route or is taking a longer route to overcharge you, be sure to check on Google Maps and then write down his ID and licence number and ask for your receipt at the end of the journey.
  4. It’s rare for a Zakynthos taxi driver to carry change for large bills, so we recommend not paying with anything larger than a €20 bill.
  5. You can fit up to 2 baby seats for children uner the age of 2. This will incur a cost of €8 per seat.
  6. Most Zakynthos taxi drivers don’t accept credit card payments, so keep change in Euros with you when taking a cab.
  7. Zakynthos taxi drivers don’t expect a tip, but it’s always appreciated. If you feel like giving one, you can round up to the nearest Euro or add on 5% to your total fare.
  8. Be sure to ask for your receipt at the end of your journey, in case you wish to make a complaint or need to locate any personal belongings left behind in the taxi.
  9. Pre-booking your Zakynthos taxi will give you the peace of mind of guaranteed on-time pickups, English-speaking drivers, competitive fixed-rate fares and 24-hour customer support.

Wheelchair-accessible taxi in Zakynthos

Standard local taxis in Zakynthos don’t offer wheelchair ramps or lifts for wheelchair users. However, most do have space to store a folded wheelchair in the trunk of the car. If you need a fully wheelchair-accessible taxi in Zante, we suggest contacting the local tour providers or a radio taxi company to ask if they have this service, before landing in Greece. 

Zakynthos taxi complaints and safety

As Zakynthos is a small island, taxis are very well monitored and are therefore considered fairly safe.

You can then report them to the Zakynthos Tourist Police by visiting their office at 62, Lomvardou Street 29100, or by calling them on +30 (269) 5024 4824.
