Zagreb Taxi Fares Explained
Fares in Zagreb are set by each operator rather than through one city-wide meter standard, so prices vary a lot across the market. Established fleets such as Wizi quote a start price near 4 EUR covering the first 2 km and about 1 EUR per further kilometre, while Radio Taxi 1717 quotes roughly 4 EUR for a typical short city ride.
Numbeo user data puts the average Zagreb starting fare near 2 EUR and the average per-kilometre charge near 1.25 EUR, but these are averages that include cheaper app rides.
Many small private drivers legally display far higher self-written tariffs, which has produced occasional extreme bills and frequent public criticism, so the price of a given trip depends strongly on which operator you choose.
Official maximum tariffs are published at Zagreb Airport, where the contracted provider must cap its start price and per-kilometre charge.
A 2026 national law now requires the maximum fare and planned route to be shown before the ride and allows a minister to cap rates, though such maximum price limits had not yet taken effect as of mid-2026.

About Taxis in Zagreb 🚕
The main licensed fleets in Zagreb are Wizi (ex Cammeo, call 1212), Radio Taxi Zagreb (call 1717) and Eko Taxi (call 1414), alongside the app-based services Bolt and Uber. Vehicles are typically sedans in each fleet's colour scheme, and rides are ordered by phone, app or at a marked taxi stand, with stops near the railway and bus stations.
For airport transfers, the operator in contract with Zagreb Franjo Tuđman Airport is the Taxi Association of Velika Gorica (Taxi Gorica), whose pick-up area sits on the ground floor beside the Arrivals meeting point. The airport publishes maximum prices, for example capping a ride to the city centre (Centar) at about 35 EUR and to the Main Railway Station at about 35 EUR.
Licensed city taxis can use bus lanes and tram tracks in the centre, which helps them reach central addresses during rush hour. Because independent private drivers may post their own tariffs, travellers are advised to use a named fleet or app and to confirm the fare before starting, as many news reports document very high charges by small independent operators around the main station.
Tips for Taxi Riders
- Always check if the meter is running before your ride starts.
- Carry small change in the local currency for convenience.
- Be aware of possible surcharges like night rides or airport fees.
