Baku Taxi Fares Explained
In Baku, Yango dominates app-based taxis and shows a fixed price before booking. That price includes base fare, distance, time, plus surge multipliers during peak hours or rain.
Local firms like 189 Taxi and Baku Taxi often use meters, but drivers may prefer cash deals for known routes. Apps accept cash or card; street taxis usually take cash only.
A typical 5 km ride in central Baku costs about 5 to 7 AZN, while the airport to downtown is 20 to 30 AZN. Tipping is not expected, and receipts come only through the app.
