Vigo Backs 1% Taxi Fare Rise for 2026 Pending Xunta Sign-Off

Final authorization by the regional consumer authority will determine whether the new rates start on January 1.

Overview

  • The proposal tracks the transport CPI, which is the maximum increase permitted under Vigo’s ordinance.
  • The updated rates set the daytime flag-fall at €4.25 and the night or holiday start at €4.51, with per‑kilometer prices of €1.14 by day and €1.30 at night or on holidays.
  • Supplements rise to €5.31 for the airport, €3.71 for Ifevi, €0.68 for luggage, and €2.65 for the Christmas extra after a technical rounding.
  • Even with the change, estimated annual revenue per vehicle is €43,907, about 1.28% below the sector’s reported 2025 operating cost of €44,468 after a 6.09% jump driven by higher insurance premiums and fuel.
  • The municipal file confirms legal compliance, programmable taximeters, and an unopposed public hearing, and it has been sent to the Xunta as officials also flag upcoming Vitrasa ticket price updates.
