Dimo taxis: review as promised

Just got back from what must be the coldest 7 days I have ever spent in Prague but even so it was still fantastic.



We used Dimo taxis and they were fantastic prompt and polite and the whole return transfers were only 840 korunas which is great for a taxi service and I will be using them again in December when my daughters and I will be visiting again.



If anyone needs any info just let me know.

Hi Dave



I have dealt with David at Dimo he speaks very good english and his email is david.burdych@dimotaxi.cz



Dont forget to mention which terminal you are using as they operate from the new terminal but they have no problem picking up from north terminal 1.

Torii.





Well done and thanks for the review. When I cam back last night, I don%26#39;t see a common Dimo stand outside Terminal 2 in the same way as you do with the Fix taxis at Terminal 1 (indeed the Fix taxis were the one%26#39;s queuing outside Terminal 2).





840 crowns is an excellent price for a return transfer (many taxi companies charge this for just one leg of the trip)

Thanks for this review. I will certainly give them a try. Which terminal do you come out of when flying in from UK?

When we arrived at north terminal 1 our driver was waiting with my name on a board we then went outside and the taxi was parked right there with the other taxis on the stand ,so much better than with the other company we used who parked in the multi storey car park,we had to lug our luggage quite a way then get into a crowded lift



Caz when you come in from the UK its to north terminal 1.

Newspapers this morning said that Dimo were thrown out of the deal to provide taxi services from the new airport Terminal 2 for %26quot;technical reasons%26quot;. AAA taxis, who are widely known as being the most reliable taxi company in Prague are slated to take over.





I might be sceptical, but I wonder whether Dimo%26#39;s proposal to provide taxi services from the airport to the city centre for 400 crowns (when the Fix taxis cost 600 crowns or so and Cedaz minibuses cost 480 crowns) had something to do with it? I can%26#39;t therefore see taxi prices going down significantly, but then your average AAA taxi driver doesn%26#39;t put your life in danger as much as your average Fix taxi driver.

Thats such a shame they gave such a good service and hopefully I will still be able to book them as I did this time,has anyone booked them since I posted my review?

As they picked you up before they recieved their airport licence, they should be able to pick you up in the same way even if someone else has the licence.





840 crowns is about as good as you can get for a return trip from and to the airport
