Taxi from Larnaca airport to Pernera/Protaras.

Please could anyone tell me the average cost of a taxi from the airport and if this changes after a certain time?



Also does anyone have any contact numbers to arrange one before we arrive.



Thanks Karen.

if you go onto website for grabthatcab you will be able to book a taxi it was 55 erous the last time i used them and they are reliable.

55 euros during the day and 65 euros at night and thats without the obligatory tip - one way - total rip off but you can%26#39;t do anything about it - you have to get to your destination and they know it! Grabthatcab very reliable though.

I looked at getting a hire car (we are going for 2 weeks but don%26#39;t want a car for all that time). I looked at picking one up at the airport on 1/5 and getting them to pick it up on 3/3 and it%26#39;s approx £75. I guess there%26#39;s just petrol costs on top of this..





I guess we%26#39;d have to do the same on the way back, that%26#39;s a reason I%26#39;m considering just getting a cab. Looks like grabthatcab is well recommended here..





Still very undecided as to whether to get a cab or get a hire car!!!





What does everyone normally tip in Cyprus for airport transfers by cab?




|||



On tips, I give nothing. Taxi fares have gone up 70% in 6 years and there is no justification for this. It%26#39;s down you what you would like to give. You will not be greeted with an outstretched hand wanting more money.

Thanks for all the info.



Sum007 we too are arriving on 1st may at lunch time.



Does anyone know how easy it is to get a bus from airport?

There are shuttle buses but sorry I%26#39;m not much help with timings but to be honest do you really want to hang about waiting for a bus after a long tiring flight. I%26#39;d just pay up for a taxi, get to your destination and start enjoying your holiday.

Hi, thanks for all your tips, appreciated. We are thinking of booking Grabthatcab and it%26#39;s 49 euros to Ayia Napa.





We get there mid afternoon.. I think in some ways paying for a cab is at least fast and better than the airport transfers where you have to wait for everyone and drop off at lots of hotels!




|||



Think we will get a taxi thanks.



sum007, sorry made a mistake, had a hard day at work. We go to Italy 1st may and cyprus not until end of September.



Think I need a holiday LOL.

Hi Karen,



You can send an E/mail to Mr John at info@cy-taxi.com (also has his own web site of www.cy-taxi.com) and he will reply with a price.



We were qouted 55 euros each way. Mr John is very well known in Protaras as he also arranges trips and we always use him.

If you don%26#39;t like the price of a taxi there is always the bus. As long as you arrive in daytime there are buses to Larnaca and from the same stop on the promenade you can get the bus to Protaras.



€55 for a taxi is reasonable for the distance, you pay more than that for the same mileage in UK.
