Taxis

There are numerous taxi stands in larger urban areas and taxis can also be hailed on the street as they drive by. In smaller towns and areas that have limited transport possibilities, it is better to pre-book taxis. Taxi centres can be called to order taxis. Telephone numbers can be found in the telephone directory. One specific feature is the "Kurzstrecke" (short trip). If you hail a driving taxi and only want to travel a short distance then you can ask the driver for a low-cost "Kurzstrecke" (which costs around 3 euros). Otherwise taxis have set prices.
