1. The Cúcuta Taxi Rate Explained Simply

Officially Set

The Cúcuta taxi rate was officially set on 1 mars 2024. In Colombia, cab rides are regulated by the Ministry of Transport, with cab drivers needing a valid license and a registered vehicle with a taximeter to operate legally. Fares are set by local authorities and are often based on starting fee, distance traveled and waiting time; in addition, taximeters are mandatory in urban areas, while fixed fares are often negotiated in rural areas.

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

The Cúcuta taxi tariff sets out how fares are calculated for all trips in the city. The tariff includes different rates for day and night times. Day rates apply from 5:00 am to 8:00 pm, and night rates apply from 8:00 pm to 5:00 am every day.

For a typical ride during the day, the minimum fare is 7,000.00 kol$. This base fare covers both getting into the taxi and the first 5.35 kilometers of travel. After this distance, each additional kilometer is charged at 1,309.09 kol$. If your ride includes waiting time, the charge is 30,000.00 kol$ per hour of waiting, calculated according to the time the taxi is not moving.

If you travel at night, the base fare remains at 7,000.00 kol$. However, during night hours, the base fare covers the first 4.20 kilometers of your trip. Any additional distance after this will also be charged at 1,309.09 kol$ per kilometer. The waiting time rate is the same as during the day, at 30,000.00 kol$ per hour.

All passengers should be aware that fares in Cúcuta taxis follow these rules without exceptions. The total cost of your trip depends on the distance traveled beyond the amount included in the base fare, plus any waiting time. This structure ensures that the calculation of your taxi fare is predictable and consistent for both day and night rides.
