Poznan Taxis

Most cabs these days are reliable and use their meters but be aware of rogue taxis which hang around train stations and certain hotels. Make sure that your cab has a sign on the roof marked with the name of the company rather than just a sign simply declaring 'taxi'. Once inside make sure the driver turns on the meter and you should be fine. Under Polish law the driver should now have a cash register in the cab and is obliged to give you a printed receipt for your fare. You should expect to pay 5zł for entering the taxi followed by 2zł per kilometre. Prices rise at weekends, late at night and for travel outside of the city limits. Taxis are obliged to display their prices in the windows of the cab so you can compare and check prices. Note that many firms offer a discount to their published prices if you phone or book in advance.
