Don't know if there was a city tax or something, but it was weird. Driver refused to give me an explanation.

It ain't a city tax, that is for sure . Most taxi drivers in Croatia (and in the Balkans) are thieves. They will try to squeeze as much money as possible, whether you are are tourist or local. As Trump said...they are bad hombres.


Try Uber. It's cheaper, better and it's bigger chance that the driver speaks English (or some other language). No wonder why most taxi guilds are trying to ban Uber and Lyft through city councils - they know that can't compete with them. As I said, they are bad hombres.

I tried Uber a few times and the drivers just drove endlessly around. Never got picked up.
