What the table is telling you
The dash in the “per km” column is not a gap we forgot to fill. Only 5 of these towns have a price list published by an operator or a taxi association that we can link to; the rest run on rates the drivers know and nobody prints. In those places the number to ask for is the total, on the phone, before the car leaves — which is ordinary practice here and will not offend anyone.
Where a tariff does exist it is usually regulated and genuinely cheap by European standards, and it does not change at night. The money that goes missing in Bosnia is almost never the meter; it is the unmetered airport pickup and the flat quote offered at arrivals, which is why every city page here carries the fair range for that specific ride.
Also covered, in Bosnian
These 27 towns have verified dispatch numbers but no English guide — almost nobody reaches them as a visitor, and a padded English page would be worse than an honest link. The numbers, the 24-hour markers and the call buttons are identical; only the prose is Bosnian.
Before you call
Two things catch visitors out. Short dial codes — 1515, 1516, 1522 and the like — only connect from a Bosnian network, so on a foreign SIM they simply fail; every call button on this site is written in +387 format for that reason. And cards are the exception rather than the rule: carry convertible marks in small notes, because a driver often cannot change a 50.
There is no Uber, Bolt or Lyft anywhere in the country. The domestic app is Moj Taxi, which works in a handful of larger cities and is worth having, but it is built for residents and regularly rejects foreign cards — keep a dispatch number as the fallback. How the apps actually behave →
Frequently asked questions
Which Bosnian cities have a published taxi tariff?
5 of the 43 towns covered here: Banja Luka, Bihać, Mostar, Sarajevo, Tuzla. Those figures come from an operator or association price list we can link to, not from asking a driver. Everywhere else we publish the dispatch numbers and say plainly that we have no sourced rate — a made-up figure is worse than none when you are about to hand over cash.
How much does a taxi cost per kilometre in Bosnia?
Between 1 KM in Bihać and 2,30 KM in Sarajevo — roughly ≈ 0,51 € to ≈ 1,18 €. On top of that most cities charge a flag-fall, and some a minimum fare that makes very short hops cost the same regardless of distance. Full comparison →
Can I get a taxi in the middle of the night?
In 35 of the 43 towns here at least one operator is confirmed as running around the clock. In the smaller ones the night choice narrows to whoever happens to answer, so if you have a pre-dawn flight or bus, arrange the car the day before and confirm it the evening before. Each city page names the 24-hour operators first.
Why are some cities only in Bosnian?
An English page is written for a visitor: where the rank is, what the airport run should cost, what to do when the app rejects a foreign card. For 27 of these towns almost nobody arrives as a tourist, so writing that page would mean padding it. The Bosnian page still has the numbers, and a phone number needs no translation.
Is Uber or Bolt available in any Bosnian city?
No — not in Sarajevo, not in Mostar, not anywhere in the country, and there is no sign of that changing. The domestic app is Moj Taxi, and calling a dispatch number works everywhere. The full answer, city by city →
