Taxi Types in Korea

🚕 Taxi Types in Korea — Know Your Options 🇰🇷

Taking a taxi in Korea is easy once you know the types. Here are the four you'll see most often — choose the right one and your ride is smoother (and clearer to the driver).

🚕 1. 일반택시 (il-ban-taek-si) — Regular Taxi

The standard, most common taxi. Affordable and everywhere. This is what most travelers use day to day.

🖤 2. 모범택시 (mo-beom-taek-si) — Deluxe Taxi

Usually black with a yellow sign. More expensive, but offers experienced drivers and a more comfortable ride.

🚐 3. 대형택시 (dae-hyeong-taek-si) — Large Taxi

A bigger vehicle, good when you have lots of luggage or a small group traveling together.

🌐 4. 인터내셔널 택시 (in-teo-nae-syeo-neol taek-si) — International Taxi

Drivers who speak English (and sometimes other languages). Great for the airport, longer trips, or your first day in Korea.

Most taxis accept card payment, and you can tell the driver your destination in Korean — or just show it on your phone.

목적지를 한국어로 보여주세요 (mok-jeok-ji-reul han-gug-eo-ro bo-yeo-ju-se-yo) → "Let me show you the destination in Korean."
