Vilnius Taxi Fares Explained
Vilnius has no single citywide taxi tariff. Each licensed operator sets its own fares, and a municipal plan to fix maximum airport rates was rejected by competition authorities, so prices vary between companies and by day or night service. Ride-hailing apps such as Bolt quote an exact price before you confirm, while traditional taxis run on a meter and must display their tariff.
Drivers should always use the meter or the in-app quote, and most legitimate cabs display a yellow plate with a TAKSI roof light. A typical trip from Vilnius Airport to the Old Town runs about 8 to 15 euros, while a shorter city hop costs only a few euros.
