About Taxi Cabs in Warsaw Poland

Corporate taxicabs are taxicabs that are members of a corporate fleet. You can distinguish a corporate taxi cab by the sign on the top of the car and the telephone number that is on the sign.

Some hotels contract with cab operators and provide special cab services for their guests.
These taxicabs pick up passengers only at the front door of hotels.
Because they do not pick up passengers anywhere else in the city to offset return costs, when you use a hotel tax cab you pay twice the normal rate that would pay with a corporate cab. That is because you pay the cost for the cab to leave the hotel and go to your destination as well as the cost of the cab to return from your destination to the hotel.
Hotel taxicabs generally give the highest quality service of all the cab services available.
