Meter, agreed fare or transfer?

Meter (compteur)

In urban petit taxis the meter is the standard option. You can ask for it before you set off.

Agreed fare

For long or night rides a price is often agreed beforehand: write it on your phone.

Private transfer

Booked in advance, it usually costs more but includes waiting time, luggage and a fixed price.

Good habits

  • Agree the price or ask for the meter before getting in.
  • Night fares (after 8pm) are normally higher.
  • Petit taxis can be shared, which may change the price.
  • Keep small change: drivers don't always have any.

Useful phrases with the driver

  • Could you turn on the meter, please?

    Bghit l-compteur, afak.

  • How much to…?

    Bch'hal l-…?

  • Alright, let's go.

    Wakha, yalla.
