Thus, the cost of a trip from the railway station to Gorky Park will be 48,635 - 55,847 rubles, from the area of ​​art. Nemiga metro to Minsk-Arena - 70 369 - 84 700 rubles, and from the district of ul. October to the area of ​​pl. Freedom - 45 153 - 51 144 rubles.

The cost of a trip to the National Airport Minsk from anywhere in the city, as well as the cost of the return journey will be fixed and amount to 350,000 rubles.

You can calculate the cost of the trip in advance on this page . In addition, the mobile application itself calculates the approximate cost based on GPS data and the specified final point. Payment with the driver is made only by credit card.



Taxi drivers with Skoda Rapid, Kia Rio, Volkswagen Polo, Hyundai Solaris under 5 years old and other more or less modern sedans are invited to register as drivers. White shirt, strict sweater, dark trousers are welcome. A set of drivers is led by the partner of the service - the company Belevroent (known under the Europcar brand).

Traditional advantages of Uber: you can “share” the route with your wife or someone else so that she can track the movement of the car online. In addition, the cost of the trip can be divided into several people. There is a function to challenge the cost of the trip after the fact, indicating a more optimal online mode - the difference in cost will be returned to the map. In the end, you can declare forgotten things by pressing a button.

Pleasant bonus: Uber offers each passenger one trip for free, worth up to 250,000 rubles. To do this, install the mobile application from the AppStore, Google Play or WindowsStore and enter the promotional code X4MINSK .

UPD. On February 6, a spontaneous meeting of taxi drivers of all dispatching services of the capital with a protest against the new UberX service took place in Minsk. “We can go to the Moscow Ring Road. There are about 6 thousand legal taxi drivers in Minsk, let 3 leave - we will stop the city! We will drive around the ring column, do not violate anything — they will not be punished, ”one of the protesters said in an interview with the press.
