Opinions about Granada Taxis
Honest taxi driver
I took a cab near the Granada bus station and accidentally left my iPhone behind.
I didn’t realize it until the afternoon of the same Sunday, which is when I contacted the cab service. They had found my phone and kept it on their premises as a lost item.
I don’t know the cab number or the driver’s name, but he does.
Thank you very much for your honesty. People like you help build the values that society desperately needs today.
Recommend leaving your car behind
The service, prices, and friendly treatment from all the cab drivers I used in Granada were great. I’d recommend leaving your car behind and using their service to enjoy your time in the city.
Official companies
The only official companies are Tele Radio Taxi, which operates 80% of the cabs in the city, and Radio Taxi Genil.
These two companies follow regulated tariffs, use taximeters, and are official. I have doubts about the rest, which is why comments like the one bellow about price variations often arise.
I suggest that whenever you take a cab, whether here or elsewhere, always ask for a receipt. Unless it’s for a long-distance trip, all fares should be based on the taximeter.

Extra charge
Today, we took a cab at the bus station. When we arrived at our destination, the cab driver informed us that, in addition to the amount on the meter, we had to pay an extra charge for departing from the station.
We’ve taken many cabs before, and none of them had ever mentioned this charge. When we expressed our surprise and questioned it, the driver insisted it was the fare, turned the meter back, and added the amount.
In our opinion, this type of service should be better regulated.
They hang up on you if you can’t speak Spanish
Sept 2018: please note that the folks at Tele Radio Taxi will hang up on you if you can’t speak Spanish. Don’t bother phoning them. They are very rude.
