Five or more people need a second car, or a six-to-nine-seat taxi on the meter with its surcharge: the voucher is for up to four.

Without a voucher the three licensed brands run three different meters: XTaxi EUR 2.99 to start, then 1.10 a kilometre and 0.25 a minute; Red Cab 2.11, 1.78 and 0.34; TaxiLV 2.13, 2.50 and 0.35 — each plus EUR 2 for leaving the airport, and 6 to 12 more for a six-to-nine-seat car. Read the door before you get in.

Any other taxi at the door sets its own price with no maximum; the airport tells you to ask the fare before you agree to the ride.

The voucher area runs from Krišjāņa Valdemāra, Skanstes, Lāčplēša and Valmieras streets to Tallinas iela on the right bank, and from Kārļa Ulmaņa gatve to Kurzemes prospekts in Pārdaugava. An address outside it is paid on the meter.

Show the voucher to the driver before the car moves; it is for one ride only, without stops, and cannot be used twice or in part.

Four people pay EUR 33.50 here against EUR 6 on bus 22; the taxi is about ten minutes quicker and takes you to the door.
