A calmer way to find a taxi in Palma.

How taxis work in Palma

Taxis in Palma are regulated by the Consell de Mallorca. The fleet is uniformly white, with a green roof-light when free, and runs on an official taximeter. Drivers pass a municipal exam covering the city’s streets and the local fare structure.

The fare structure

Rates are published yearly. They consist of a flag-fall, a per-kilometre rate, and a small number of supplements — airport pickup, late-night, public holidays and bulky luggage are the most common. The meter must be visible at all times, and the receipt itemises every charge.

• The minimum airport fare is set by the local council each year.
• Card payment is mandatory in every licensed taxi.
• The taximeter — not the driver — determines the final fare.

Why ranks are the safest choice

Hailing on the street works, but in central Palma it’s often faster to walk to a rank. Ranks are marked, supervised in busy spots, and you always step into a vetted, licensed car. Apps come and go; the ranks have been in the same places for decades.

Who is behind this

Taxi Palma is built by a small team of people who travel often and were tired of arriving in a new city with no quick way to find a proper taxi. We collect taxi-rank data from OpenStreetMap and verify it against the on-the-ground reality in Palma. We have no commercial relationship with any taxi operator.
