Riga Latvia Airport Taxi to City Center - Use Red Cab

Airport Taxi

As a private tourist office since 1991, we have extensive experience with the taxi companies operating in Riga.

From many points of view, we ONLY recommend the use of the Red Colored cars now displaying the logo RED CAB on the hood bonnet or side of the cars or vans.

Also on the taxi are the telephone numbers: 800 0 1313 (toll free) and the new mobile cell phone toll free number 8383

Make sure the meter is turned on and operating. The total price from the airport to city center depending on time of day and traffic should be from 8.00 Ls to 12.00 Ls

If you have any problems with the taxi, get a receipt, a description of the driver and the vehicle license number. Background of the license plate should be yellow in color.

Then telephone the special Tourist Office Hotline and make a complaint.
