How much does a taxi cost in Ethiopia?

The cost of your taxi ride depends on a few things. First, consider the city. Addis Ababa, the capital, generally has higher fares compared to other regions. Naturally, longer distances will translate to higher costs as well. Taxis come in two flavors: blue and white with meters and blue and white without. Metered taxis offer a more transparent fare, while unmetered ones require negotiation before getting in. Ride-hailing apps like Yango are another option, potentially offering upfront pricing structures. Even with ride-hailing apps, prices can fluctuate depending on the time of day, with peak hours and nighttime rides potentially costing more. Here's a ballpark figure to get you started: a short 10-15 minute ride in Addis Ababa might cost around €1.20 (ETB 70), while a trip from the airport to the city center could range from €3-€7 (ETB 150-300). With Yango, you don’t have to do extra math. You’ll see the price of your ride before you book it.

What is the best transportation in Ethiopia?

Whizzing between cities? Domestic flights rule Ethiopia's skies. On a budget? Buses are your bumpy, scenic friend. In cities, hail a ride-hailing app for ease (think Yango). Craving freedom? Hire a driver and explore at your own pace (be ready to splurge). Tuk-tuk taxis (Bajajs) are a cheap thrill, but prioritize safety when using them. Trains offer a charming (and potentially slow) journey for the adventurous. The best way to get around Ethiopia depends on your travel style and budget.

What color are taxis in Ethiopia?

Taxis in Ethiopia come mostly in two main colors: blue and white — this is the most common type of taxi. They can be either metered or unmetered. Ethiopian metered taxis generally have a white top and a blue body, while unmetered ones might have a slightly different color combination. There are also yellow and green ones — newer metered city taxis, particularly those found in Addis Ababa, might be yellow and green. These typically belong to ride-hailing services or specific taxi companies.
