Taxis in Mallorca: Fares, surcharges and how to get one to your finca

What a ride costs

Since 2025, a uniform tariff has applied in Palma and most municipalities. Approximate rates as of autumn 2026:

• Tariff 1 (weekdays during the day): base fare around 2.50 euros, approximately 1.20 euros per kilometre.
• Tariff 2 (at night, on weekends and public holidays): base fare just under 3 euros, approximately 1.35 euros per kilometre.
• Airport and port: a surcharge of around 4.65 euros per journey, plus a minimum fare of just under 17 euros from the airport.
• Luggage, strollers, wheelchairs: free of charge.

Rates may vary slightly from municipality to municipality. Special surcharges apply on Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve. The tariff category is illuminated on the roof sign and shown on the taximeter.

Example routes from the airport

Approximate prices, depending on the time of day and traffic: Palma city centre 20 to 30 euros, Santa Ponsa 40 to 50 euros, Alcúdia or Pollença 90 to 120 euros, Cala Millor or Cala d’Or 80 to 110 euros. For fixed prices on long journeys, it is worth booking a transfer in advance; see From the airport to the north.

Payment, receipts, complaints

Card payment must be accepted, but it is best to confirm this when getting in. You can ask for a receipt ("factura" or "rebut"), which should show the licence number, date and amount. If you think you have been overcharged, you can complain with the receipt to the municipality where the taxi is registered. Tipping is not mandatory, but rounding up is customary; see Tipping on Mallorca.

Taxi to the finca: book in advance

Taxis on Mallorca are restricted to the municipality in which they are registered. In Palma and the major holiday resorts, you can simply hail one or go to a taxi stand. In rural areas, at night or in towns with few licences, it can take an hour for a taxi to arrive, or one may not come at all. Therefore:

• Arrange return journeys from the restaurant when you book the outward journey.
• Save the local taxi company’s phone number in your mobile phone.
• Book large-capacity taxis for seven or eight people well in advance, as there are not many.
• Ask about child seats; the rules are explained in Child seats on Mallorca.

If you are staying at a WOW FINCA, simply pick up the receiver on the red telephone: we will book a taxi or driver for you, even for an evening at a restaurant. Find out more about the WOW CONCIERGE.

Uber, Bolt and apps

Private hire vehicles with a driver (VTC) are only permitted in limited areas on Mallorca and operate mainly in Palma. Local taxi companies have apps that send a taxi to your address. Other apps that may be useful on holiday: Mallorca apps.
