Granada is a compact and walkable city, but when you are navigating its steep hillside quarters (Albaicín and Sacromonte), traveling with heavy luggage, or heading to the airport or Alhambra at dawn, official taxis are fast, reliable, and surprisingly inexpensive compared to other major European cities.
Granada’s taxi fleet consists of white modern sedans and minivans with a diagonal green stripe on the front doors and an official municipal medallion number. Here is the complete 2026 guide to official rates, surcharges, apps, and phone numbers.

3. Taxi Access to Restricted ZBE Zones
One of the immense advantages of taking an official licensed taxi in Granada is that taxis are legally exempt from city traffic restrictions. While private rental cars are strictly fined by automatic camera traps when entering the Albaicín, Sacromonte, or Carrera del Darro, taxis can take you right to the front door of your hillside hotel or flamenco zambra without issue.
