New Directions

Taxi regulations are being changed in Estonia to include ride sharing options. Uber and Taxify are already widely used here.
Uber’s minimum fare is €3. The starting fare is €1.90, the minute price is €0.15 and the kilometre price is €0.35. Your credit card is automatically charged from the app at the end of the ride.
Taxify is an Estonian taxi app, which is already being used in 10 countries. Last year, 2.2 million rides were ordered from 3163 taxis from the app. The app was upgraded in April. Now you can choose between different types of taxis, from mini buses to small cars, as well as from electric cars to luxury cars. The cheapest option is a private car, which starts at €1.90 and then €0.40 per kilometre. A luxury car base fare is €3.50 and costs €0.75 per kilometer.
According to Taxify’s statistics, one of the most popular pickup points in Tallinn is in the Old Town by the chimney sweep statue.
Elektritakso runs in Tallinn, Tartu, and Pärnu. All of the company’s cars are environmentally friendly and small electric cars. The base fare is €2.60 and the price per kilometre is €0.60. You can order a car through Taxify or by calling 1918.
