Taxis & Rideshare in Bosnia and Herzegovina (2026)

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the dominant way to move by car-for-hire is the long-established network of city-based radio-taxi companies. In every major town, Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Mostar, Tuzla, Bihać, you'll see ranks of white or yellow sedans with roof lights and the city's taxi association logo on the door. Hailing one on the street is normal. But most locals phone or use the company's own app (e.g., "Sarajevo Taxi," "Crveni Taxi," "Bosna Taxi") to request a pickup. The dispatcher will give you the car's number and an estimated arrival time. Payment is almost always cash in convertible marks (KM), although some drivers now accept cards, confirm before you start the ride. Meters are compulsory and must be switched on. If the driver claims it's "broken," simply choose another cab. Rideshare platforms such as Uber or Bolt are not present, so travelers who prefer app-based booking will rely on the local taxi apps above or, in Sarajevo and Mostar only, the regional platform "CarGo." For comfort and door-to-door convenience, a radio taxi ordered by phone or app is the default choice, late at night or with luggage. If you're in a hurry and see an empty taxi with its light on, street hailing works just as well. Always note the company name and license plate for safety, and agree on the meter or check live rates in the local app before you set off.
