You should be always careful when you decide to use a cab since some taxi drivers can charge you an exaggerated price seeing that you are a foreigner. The price per kilometer must be indicated on both sides of taxi and also within the car on the front panel, otherwise, it is recommended to negotiate the price before entering the car. When you sit in, check whether the driver sets the counter correctly. Always ask for a receipt. The price per kilometer may vary from car to car; at present, the average is 30 Kc. Final sum includes also an introductory fee (for entering the car) in the range of 30 to 50 Kc. Different prices can be expected for the transportation from/to the Airport (Airport Cars - Fix Co.: 120-770 Kc depending on price zone). The reliable company is the AAA-taxi.
