1. The Bilbao Taxi Rate Explained Simply

Officially Set

The Bilbao taxi rate was officially set on 1 janvier 2023. Taxi tariffs in Spain are officially set by cities or districts. The taxi tariff Bilbao was last set in janvier 2023 and published in the official tariff ordinance. It is binding for all taxis and taxi companies within the compulsory driving area and may not be exceeded or undercut. This is ensured by officially calibrated taximeters installed in the taxis.

How the fare is made up under the Bilbao taxi rate:

The Bilbao taxi tariff sets out clear rules for how taxi rides are charged. The price of your ride depends on the day, the time, and the distance you travel. There are two main periods for fares: day and night.

During the day, from Monday to Friday between 7:00 am and 10:00 pm, each ride starts with a base fare of €4.60. After this initial charge, the cost increases by €0.85 for every kilometer traveled. If the taxi waits or is stopped in traffic, there is a waiting time charge of €20.60 per hour.

The night tariff applies from Monday to Friday between 10:00 pm and 7:00 am, and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. For rides during these times, the starting base fare is €5.60. The cost per kilometer is €1.05, and the waiting time is charged at €26.20 per hour.

To summarize, the Bilbao taxi tariff is based on the time of day and the distance you travel. Every ride begins with a fixed base fare, followed by charges for each kilometer and any waiting time. This structure helps passengers know exactly how their fare is calculated at any time of the week.
