1. Gas and transportation prices in Estonia
   

• 1 kilometre driving with taxi costs about 0.7 EUR + about 2.2 EUR starting fee

Passengers can choose a taxi of their choice at the taxi stand, but it is cheaper to call a taxi by phone. There are no maximum fee limits, meaning that different taxis might have different price lists. The cost of the taxi-ride for the passenger is shown on the taximeter display – taxi drivers are not allowed to charge passengers a fare higher than the taximeter reading! The taxi fare must be paid in Estonian kroons, but today many taxicabs also allow you to pay by debit card.

• 1 litre of fuel “98 Euro” costs 0.9 EUR

The price of gas in Estonia is almost the half of what it is in Scandinavian countries. You can see a
full table of gas prices around the world here. The table hasn’t been updated since 2005, but the proportions
are almost the same nowadays.
