There are several types of
taxis: official taxis, private taxis, and private cars. Official (and
private) taxis can be identified by a "T" sign on the side
or a "TAXI" sign on the roof of the car, a lot of them are
yellow or white "Volga" type cars.
For foreigners the standard
charge for a cab arranged by a hotel's taxi-service will be around $30 to most
places, and for longer trips, such as to or from the airport it may cost
$45-50.
Many private cars also stop to pick up passengers to earn some money. Getting
into a private car for a ride, however, can be risky. It is OK only for people
know some Russian.
It is recommended not to use the services of private car owners. Please check our transportation page to see our special offers.
