Set by the Ministry of Transport for every hire from the airport (K.D.P. 79/2021): the same fare from 06:00 to 06:00, so it never rises at night. A ride to anywhere else in Larnaca runs on the meter instead.
Luggage. EUR 1.40 a bag applies to the metered fare, not stated for the fixed one; ask the driver before you load up.
The options are still here — your budget or journey-time filter is drawn tighter than any of them. Widen either one, or reset the filters, to bring them back.

Worth knowing

Nothing public leaves for Larnaca between 00:00 and 06:30, apart from night route 446 twice on Friday and Saturday nights. A taxi from the rank is a fixed EUR 15 for up to four people or EUR 20 for five or six, the same fare by day or night; a pre-booked private transfer with Welcome Pickups runs EUR 30 to 69 by day depending on vehicle size, more after 20:00.
Nicosia has no airport of its own for civil flights: Kapnos Airport Shuttle runs there from Larnaca for EUR 10 a seat, about 45 minutes, roughly hourly and through most of the night. It stops at its own station on Kyrenias Avenue in Aglandjia, not in the old town.
The same fixed-fare taxi scheme also prices a ride to Nicosia, door to door: EUR 50 for up to four people or EUR 60 for five or six, EUR 5 to 10 more at night — more than Kapnos per seat, but no station walk at the other end.

For Ayia Napa and Protaras, Kapnos charges EUR 13 to Ayia Napa and EUR 15 to Protaras, children 2–12 EUR 5, on the same coach from the arrivals hall.
