Taxis in Maldonado: fare and phones
The Ministry of Economy sets the maximum taxi fare in each department. A taxi may charge less, never more.
Official fare
| Item | Maximum price |
|---|---|
| Flag fall (includes the first 700 m) | $90.45 |
| Meter step, every further 140 m | $13 |
| One hour of waiting | $700.58 |
| At night (22:00 to 06:00), Sundays and holidays: up to 20 % more | +20 % |
| Each extra bag larger than 0.90 × 0.40 × 0.30 m (one rides free) | $32.28 |
What a trip costs
5 km by day
(5,000 − 700) ÷ 140 = 30 steps. 30 × $13 = $390. + $90.45 flag fall = $480.45.
10 km by day
(10,000 − 700) ÷ 140 = 66 steps. 66 × $13 = $858. + $90.45 flag fall = $948.45.
10 km at night
(10,000 − 700) ÷ 140 = 66 steps. 66 × $13 = $858. + $90.45 flag fall = $948.45. With a 20 % surcharge: $1,138.14.
How it works
The meter
It starts at the flag fall. Past the metres it includes, it adds a whole step for each stretch travelled, and it also counts waiting time.
At night and on holidays
The surcharge is up to the percentage in the table over the day fare.
Luggage
One bag rides free. Each further large bag may cost up to the price in the table.
Taxi stands
Maldonado has no single radio taxi: each stand has its own phone. These are the stands with a confirmed phone. Tap one to see it on the map.
