Despite increasing prices, travelling by taxi (taksi) in Kaunas remains relatively cheap, especially if you order one in advance by telephone or app. Taxis throughout Lithuania are recognisable by their compulsory yellow number plates. Make sure the meter’s running and set to the correct tariff before leaving. Rates are usually higher in the early hours of the morning. Some drivers may deliberately set it to a higher rate if they think they're transporting hapless tourists—from the airport for example—although in most cases the era of fleecing passengers is over.
