The range spans standard taxi rides within the city, for instance between Paseo Marítimo, the Santa Catalina neighbourhood and the Intermodal station, to tailored transfer solutions for groups, families or business travellers. Providers such as Radio Taxi Ciutat or Taxi Mallorca 365 represent classic taxi service, while Rey Comfort - Minibus VIP Transfer Service offers more comfortable vehicle categories suited to larger luggage or bigger groups. Anyone planning a transfer to one of the ports, the airport or other parts of the island will find plenty of contacts in Palma.
Especially during summer months and cruise ship arrivals, demand for taxis in Palma runs high, so booking ahead is worthwhile, particularly for early airport transfers or trips with substantial luggage.

How are taxi fares worked out in Mallorca?
Every taxi must run its meter or apply the official zone tariff, for example on airport transfers, and the price list must always be visible to passengers. Since 2025 a single reference tariff has applied island-wide under Decreto 20/2025, roughly 2.50 euros base fare plus about 1.20 euros per kilometre on weekdays. Always ask for a receipt (factura) at the end of the ride, and drivers must accept electronic payment.
Are there taxi surcharges in Mallorca - and is luggage really extra?
Luggage is always free: suitcases, pushchairs, wheelchairs and guide dogs travel at no extra cost under the official tariff, so there is no legal luggage surcharge. What is allowed is a one-off airport or port supplement of around 4.65 euros, mountain-route surcharges on certain roads, an extra charge from five passengers onward, plus night and holiday rates. If in doubt, ask for the receipt; if you're still charged for luggage, you can complain to the town hall or the Consell using that factura.
How much does a taxi from Palma Airport to central Palma cost?
The fare runs through the meter or the official tariff and mainly depends on distance - Palma Airport is only about 6 kilometres from central Palma. A minimum fare applies from the airport, currently around 16.95 euros including the one-off airport supplement. You don't need to haggle over a fixed price; as a rough guide, multiply the distance by the per-kilometre rate. Luggage is included, and the airport supplement is only charged once.
How do I order a taxi in Mallorca?
In Mallorca you can catch a taxi at a taxi rank, call the local radio-taxi dispatch, message via WhatsApp, or book through an app. When you order by phone or app, the meter usually starts once the driver picks you up, not beforehand. In smaller towns, the radio-taxi phone line is often the most reliable way to get a ride quickly.
Is Uber cheaper than a regular taxi in Mallorca?
In Palma and across Mallorca, Uber simply connects you with a licensed, metered taxi rather than offering a separate, cheaper ride service. So whether you book through the app, call a radio-taxi, or hail one at a rank, you're paying the same regulated fare. The real advantage of using an app lies in convenience and cashless payment, not in a lower price.
