Taxi rides in Salzburg: Secure fixed prices with Freenow now!
There is exciting news in Salzburg for passengers looking for a predictable and transparent transport option. Taxi rides can now be booked at fixed prices via the Freenow app. The move was recently announced by the company and has the potential to fundamentally transform urban transport in the city. sn.at reports that these fixed prices only apply outside the clearly defined tariff area, which includes the city of Salzburg and the surrounding communities. If there is a lot of traffic or increased demand, prices can be higher.
Freenow, originally founded in Hamburg under the name Mytaxi, has developed into a taxi app that is important across Europe since it was taken over by Lyft in the summer of 2025. The company is now active in over 180 cities in nine European countries. The app not only offers taxi rides, but also various mobility options such as rental cars, car sharing, e-scooters and public transport. free-now.com adds that booking via the app allows passengers to see the price in advance - important information that helps passengers wait calmly and relaxed for their ride.
Price corridor and safety for passengers
A particularly useful feature is that the fixed price can vary within a price corridor of ±10%, depending on the current traffic situation and demand. This provides a certain degree of flexibility while at the same time keeping costs calculable. This system offers a bit of security, especially for older people or people who regularly take taxis. This ensures that there are no unpleasant surprises when paying.
The pricing structure in Austria is set by the federal states, which means that other federal states could also have similar regulations for taxi fares. Salzburg has so far proven to be a pioneer by already allowing fixed prices for taxis. This measure aims to make the use of local transport in the city sustainable and at the same time optimize driver utilization.
The introduction of fixed prices is an interesting step in the ever-growing world of mobility in cities. The Freenow app shows that the taxi industry is far from standing still and responds adaptably to the needs of passengers.
