Taking a taxi in Mallorca is one of the options you have if you need to get around the island and you have decided to do it by public transport. The cab service operates 24 hours a day and, although it is not the most economical means of transportation, it is the most comfortable and flexible.
Taxi in Palma de Mallorca
To take a taxicab in Palma, you can do so by going to one of the available taxi ranks, making a reservation by phone, or by making a hand signal when a free cab is approaching.
You will know that a cab is free, and therefore ready to pick up a fare, when it has a green light on. Otherwise, it will have an “occupied” placard on the front window.

Alternatives to taxis
Taxis are undoubtedly one of the most comfortable means of transport you can use to get around Palma, but if you want to visit other villages in Mallorca, bear in mind that it will not be the cheapest.
On the other hand, the train and public bus offer better prices and have several daily frequencies, but if you are traveling in a group, prefer to enjoy flexibility and freedom in terms of schedules, or want to reach every part of the island, it may not be the best option.
