costs taxi

Hello,

how much are the green taxis should one be able to get one and how much are the taxis without meter? Do I need to haggle about the price and what would be a good price for a distance of say 6-7km within Doha, and what would be a good price for a half-day trip if this is possible at all?

Thanks.

QR 2 per km...is fair for those without meter!

Of course the private cabs would insist that you pay them QR4 per km.

especially the non-kabayans taxi drivers. Few bad experiences. I need to remind them to set the meter into I instrad of O. Worst thing, though the meter is set on I but the actual metering remained in O where i stil have to pay the same amount the first time i was cheated with O.

Beware.

I think for a 6 km example, a meter can cost you a flag down of 3QR and a 50dhms/kilometer so .5x6+3=6QR but I think without a meter can cost you 10QR

Thanks for your answer. I haven't been able to get a meter taxi yet though there are a few places I need to visit. Thus it's on without a meter. Question is however what a good price is.

use the meter for a 6 to 7 km within doha and for a half day, better rent a car and bring a friend with you to drive it
