Things to check before you order a taxi in Mykonos

Getting around an unknown place can be pretty frustrating at times. Becoming acquainted with the local public transportation or driving a rental vehicle on unfamiliar roads can cause much stress and disappointment, which do not belong together with the relaxation you expect during your vacation. Hiring a taxi is always a good idea to save you time and frustration, however there are still a lot of things that can go wrong when riding a taxi as a tourist. A little preparation before you order a taxi in Mykonos, will ensure that you will have a safe and pleasant experience during your ride.

Checklist for a safe taxi ride

There are multiple ways to get a taxi in Greece. You can hop on one in a taxi rank, hail one on the street, call a taxi company or use a taxi app. You may have your own reasons preferring one way or another, but for your maximum safety we would not recommend hailing a taxi on the street, since this option does not allow for you to check the taxi driver and the company beforehand. But what factors should you consider before ordering a taxi? Here is a short checklist to have in mind:

• Licensing
  Legitimate taxis have a professional license to prove that they comply with the respective governmental requirements, so you know that your safety is not at risk. Usually licensed taxis have a sticker clearly visible on their window, but you can also confirm that your taxi is licensed by checking the company’s website.
• Services offered
  Not all taxis have the necessary equipment for every need, so if you have a specific service in mind, such as pet transfer, wheelchair seatings or baby seats, you should check the services various taxis offer to book the one that best suits your needs.
• Reviews
  Before ordering a taxi in Mykonos, check the reviews online. The experience of other passengers can be valuable in helping you avoid a negative experience.

Look into Mykonos taxi prices to avoid being overcharged

Unfortunately, tourists are considered to be an easy prey when it comes to overcharging taxi services, since they are not familiar with the distances and the pricing rates. Taxi prices in Mykonos are no exception. Here are some things you can do before you order a taxi in Mykonos to avoid being overcharged:

• Inquire locals about the expected cost for a specific ride
  You can ask at your hotel reception or any other neutral source to get informed about the expected price of a specific ride and about any other charges (such as, luggage transportation, night fares etc.).

• Make sure that the taxi meter is on
  Ensure that the taxi driver turns the taxi meter on as soon as you get on the taxi.
• Check the route on a map
  This way you can avoid being transferred to your destination via the largest route that would end up in you being overcharged.
