Everything you need to know about booking a taxi in Riga
What's the best way to book a taxi in Riga?
The easiest and most reliable way is to book your taxi in advance by phone, email, or WhatsApp.
Locals do it this way because it's simple, transparent, and saves time. With RIGA.TAXI, you know who's picking you up and what to expect.
Can I take a taxi directly from the street?
Riga is safe and friendly, but street taxis can sometimes be… unpredictable.
To avoid confusion with pricing or routes, most locals prefer ordering a taxi instead of stopping one on the street. It's not about danger, it's about comfort.
Travel smart, not adventurous.
Is Riga a safe city for taxi travel?
Absolutely. Riga is a calm European capital with a relaxed pace of life.
Ordering a taxi in advance simply adds peace of mind, especially if you're new to the city or arriving late. Think of it as local common sense, not a warning sign.
Why do locals prefer calling or messaging a taxi?
Because it works.
You get a licensed driver, clear communication, and no surprises at the end of the ride. Plus, WhatsApp works even after a long flight and one too many coffees.
Can I really book a taxi via WhatsApp?
Yes, and many people do.
Just send your pickup location and destination to +371 25 544 555, and we'll take care of the rest.
Simple, direct, and very Riga.
