For moving around in Tallinn — we highly recommend to use BOLT app. This is by far the most popular taxi ordering apps in Estonia, also allows to rent scooters, bikes, order food. Uber is available but with fewer cars.

If you get a regular taxi from the street, be sure to agree on the price before starting the ride. If you are at the hotel, ask the reception to get you a taxi.
