Local tips
Use Yandex Go
The most reliable way to get a fair price. Works like Uber or Bolt and connects to your card or cash.
Agree Early
If flagging a taxi on the street, always agree on the price before sitting down.
Small Bills
Keep small Som notes (1,000 to 5,000) ready, as drivers often don't have change for large bills.
Shared taxis are common in Uzbekistan. A driver might pick up other passengers going in the same direction. Always start with a friendly 'Assalomu Alaykum' to set a respectful tone.
