If you have a well-planned trip to Tehran beforehand and know which vehicle you can better reach your destination with, you will save a lot of time and energy.

Motorcycle Taxis

Tehran has a surprise for visitors. Motorcycle taxis! On every street corner, there is a motorcycle driver shouting “taxi”. If you want adrenalin filled, traffic-free ride. Hop on one of the motorcycles. It’s a great way to get around town if you are in a hurry. Cost depends on your driver but they may cost as much as taxis but it doesn’t take as much time. They usually don’t have a spare helmet for you to wear but if you ask them they willingly give theirs to you.
Besides traditional motorcycle taxis which are found in Tehran streets, AloPeyk is an Iranian startup specializing in motorized transportation for cargos and people. Snapp! is another startup that has a motorcycle taxi, we will get to that one later.

Traditional Taxis

Traditional taxis which are found in every street corner in Tehran, are not private unless you tell them to be. They are public services filled with at least 3 passengers to travel to destination. Private taxis are discussed later. If waving for a taxi in Tehran, yellow or green cars are typically official public taxis. Unless you’re familiar with the going taxi rates, agree to a price before getting in the vehicle. You can also book a taxi service at the Airport or simply ask your hotel reception for one.

Private Taxis

Snapp!, Carpino and TAP30 are three Iranian startups for private and modern taxis. I am certain that you heard of UBER or at least used it. It is exactly like that only Persian. Alongside Private Taxi, Snapp also has Snapp Motorcycle, Snapp Market (you can order groceries from the nearest supermarket), Snapp Food (it is like UberEats) and Snapp Trip (for booking hotels). Nowadays lots of Tehran locals use these three Tehran taxi services because they are comfortable and fast.
