    Do taxis in Finland have to give you a receipt?

    Proof of your taxi trip.

    Short answer

    Traficom says taxis are required to give customers a receipt for each taxi trip. KKV says the driver always gives you a receipt with the details of the taxi company and the fare. Suomi.fi advises keeping the receipt, since it shows the date and time of the trip and other identifying data, and noting which company's car you used and the driver's name. KKV and Traficom have urged passengers to ask about the fare before the trip and always ask for a receipt, as it makes problems easier to sort out.
