Taxi Fare Estimator

As a rule, estimate $1.30 per minute of taxi ride without traffic, 0.60 per minute
with heavy traffic. Add 20% for night time rides (after 9pm):
- Ipanema Barra (Nuth) $22
- Ipanema Barra (Pepe) $24
- Ipanema Joatinga $20
- Ipanema Santos Dumont $18
- Ipanema Galeao $35
- Ipanema downtown $22
- Ipanema Lapa $20
- Ipanema Urca $13
- Ipanema Rio Sul Mall $11
- Ipanama Maracana $20
- Ipanema Copacabana $8
- Ipanema Botafogo $14
- Ipanema Humaita $12
If you get rates double the above mentioned prices, or it seems extremely unfair,
step out the taxi, call the nearest cop and tell him “o taximetro esta desregulado”,
meaning the meter has been tampered with.
