Approximate price vs. fixed price
For journeys within Plasencia, it's normal to work with a taximeter or local rates. For destinations outside the city, ask for an orientation beforehand.
It's not worth choosing solely on price: availability, suitable vehicle and punctuality matter especially if you're going to a medical appointment, train or event.
When it's not worth saving a few euros
At dawn, in the rain or for a departure at an exact time, prioritize availability and safety. A taxi confirmed on time is worth more than cutting it too close.
