Airport Transfers less than 24 persons

For Riga airport transfers less than 24 persons, it is less expensive and much more convenient to simply take taxis from the airport taxi queue.

If at all possible, we highly recommend that you take the red colored cars as over the years, their drivers have proven to be much more safe and they are much more honest. On the side of the taxi is written the number 800 - 0 -1313

The faire from the airport should be paid by meter and to the city center should be from 7.50 to 9.50 Latvian Ls depending on time of day and amount of traffic.

Each taxi hold four (4) persons with a reasonable small amount of luggage.

For returns to the airport, ONLY USE the RED car taxis from the company 800 - 0 - 1313 !

Don't let the hotel talk you in to using their favorite taxi company as they receive a bonus on the amount that you are overcharged.

Insist that the hotel call 800 - 0 - 1313 and order you a taxi. Give them at least 30 minutes notice.

Taxis only take Latvian money and you should avoid paying by credit card as your credit card number is read aloud over the taxi radio system for all to write down.

For larger groups over 24 persons, contact Patricia Tourist Office to arrange for a bus transfer.

NOTE: we do NOT arrange for bus transfers for STAG party groups ! - Don't even ask, Thank You.
