Los taxis en Madrid no son amarillos, sino blancos con una franja roja; el servicio es bastante bueno y no demasiado caro. La foto muestra un taxi frente a la Iglesia Castrense. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 A Madrid Taxi by SirRichard
They are painted white with a red diagonal stripe across the front doors. If the green lamp on top is light they are free.
The meter starts at 1.05 euros and there are extra charges for:
- Each bag 0.31 euro
- Holidays 0.90 euro
- Nights 0.90 euro
- Dogs (other than guide dogs) 0.90 euro
- Airport (departures & arrivals) 2.41 euro
The easiest way to take them is just on the street, but here are some telephones just in case:
91 405 55 00 / 91 447 51 80 / 91 445 90 08 Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

You can take the metro around Madrid if you are not walking. It's very unreliable and you dont have to take a cab from the airport as it's quite expensive Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

If you dont want to use the public transport you will find a lot of taxis who may take you everywhere.
They are white with a red stripe in the middle, the available taxis have a green light on the top, if you want to take baggage they will charge you with a small fee, four persons may travel comfortably, i think they are expensive, but i also loose a lot of money with the Peso/Euro convertion.
i find that many drivers are very talkative, if you want to talk they will like to know where are you from and what do you want to see, some others may tell you stories about some important places of Madrid. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Taxis are quite affordable in Madrid, as they're not expensive at all. They are everywhere. Just be sure to stop one that has a green light on the roof, and lookout for the rate, as it can be 1, 2 or 3, being 1 the cheapest.
If you're coming from the airport, taxis are the choice. They do charge extra for the luggage, and don't even intend to tell the taxist where to put your bags: they will manage to carry them on the car, even if it's on top of the roof, believe me. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

We took taxis to and from the airport. It costs around 20 Euros for that. Around town, it costs less. But if you're going to a bus station, be sure you know which one you're going to! I think there are 3 bus stations in Madrid, and we had that problem one time. The taxi driver asked us what station we wanted, and we didn't know. He took us to one, and when we realized it wasn't the right one, we took another taxi to the next (which turned out to be the right one). Leave a Comment Theme: Other

I live in Madrid; I feel I live in an undeveloped country when I have to use a taxi in my city. No doubt taxi drivers are the most ignorant people but at the same time enough clever to try to thieve us. Most of them represent the most abominable guys you can find in Spain. Bad guys. They always try to steal to Spaniards and most frequently to foreigners, because taxi drivers think they are stupid. I always try to avoid using taxis. If there is no remedy to pick up one of them: control that taxi drives put the taximeter on before the taxi speed up, Try to see if he looks for the longest travel. And finally, at the end of the travel you must control carefully that he doesnt put the taximeter to cero or stand by before he asks you the money. They used to do so, suddenly the digits have disappeared, and in this way they invent the amount of money. If you go to or from the airport formally you must pay 4, 5 euros plus the amount indicated in the taximeter only. You havent to pay any extra for any baggage or packet. In summer 2006 the cost to go to city centre is around 20 euros and 10 more if you go to the south of the city. They always try to get (rob to you) 2, 5 or 10 euros more. They think that they have the right to collect the gratification directly. Taxi drives as the rest of them all over the world dont represent the good people that Im sure you will find along you trip. Since a lot of years, city council in Madrid works hard to try to organize and control the misuses and trickery but is a lost battle. In general they are no honest people at all. Try to use Metro (underground) o buses. I cant stand when they try (or sometimes achieve) to steal me, and I used to go to the airport with my baggage in my own car, put it in a cloakroom, return home to park my car and then go back to the airport by Underground (Metro). Good luck. Theme: Car/Motor Home
