Taxi fares
Unlike in other countries, taxi operators in Luxembourg are allowed to set their own fares. Their fare schedule must follow the model shown above and should be displayed clearly in the rear passenger window. In addition to charging by kilometre, taxi operators are permitted to set flat rates. It is possible to negotiate a flat rate with the driver if they are also the operator of the taxi. However, please be aware that there is no requirement for the operator to offer flat rates or to negotiate fares by destination (e.g. Luxembourg–Brussels, Airport–Luxembourg City). It is also possible for a taxi operator to offer a range of flat rates. In this case, be sure to ask the driver for a detailed list of the rates they charge.
