Cali's city hall has officialized new taxi fare values for 2026 via decree, following a technical study of operational costs. These fares differentiate between basic and luxury services, with adjustments to ensure sector sustainability. The change aims to update charges in a city with a long tradition in this individual public transport.
Cali's District City Hall issued Decree 1084 of 2025, from the Mobility Secretariat, to regulate taxi service fares for 2026. This measure is based on a technical study assessing operational costs, in line with current transport and urban mobility regulations.
For the basic service, the initial flag-down fare is set at $3,700, the minimum fare at $7,100, and the rate per 80-meter unit at $150. A $1,800 surcharge is authorized for nighttime, Sunday, or holiday services, from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
For the luxury service, the flag-down is $4,800, minimum fare $9,100, and $195 per 80 meters. These distinctions reflect the specific operating conditions of each service type in the capital of Valle del Cauca.
The Mobility Secretariat stresses requirements such as proper taximeter calibration and visible display of the updated control card. For trips to Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport in Palmaseca, Palmira, the fare from that authority applies until the bridge over the Cauca River, plus the taximeter from the origin in Cali.
Authorities urge users and taxi drivers to familiarize themselves with these fares and report irregularities, ensuring legal and transparent service starting in 2026.
