Officially Set

The Mombasa taxi rate was officially set on 1 janvier 2024. Taxis have no meters and the fare should be negotiated before departure.

How the fare is made up under the Mombasa taxi rate:

The taxi tariff of Mombasa sets out how fares are calculated for a typical journey in a licensed taxi. Every ride begins with a base fare of 400.00 KES. This initial amount is charged as soon as you enter the taxi and applies to all trips, regardless of distance.

After the base fare, the cost of your taxi ride is determined by the distance traveled. For each kilometer driven, there is a charge of 250.00 KES. This rate is applied to all distances, with every additional kilometer adding to the overall fare.

If the taxi is required to wait, such as in traffic or when stopped for any reason, a waiting time fee of 600.00 KES per hour will be added to the fare. This charge is based on the total time the taxi is stationary during the trip.

In summary, the final cost of your journey under the Mombasa taxi tariff is made up of the base fare, the cost per kilometer traveled, and any waiting time fees that may apply. This clear structure helps passengers understand how the total fare is calculated during their ride.
