About Akamas taxi
Taxi licensing in Cyprus is designed to ensure safe, reliable, and professional transport across the island. To become a licensed taxi driver, applicants must obtain a professional taxi driver licence, which includes meeting age and health requirements, holding a valid driving licence, providing a clean criminal record, and passing a written exam. While there is no formal “local knowledge test,” familiarity with the island’s geography is vital. Drivers are expected to know key landmarks, tourist areas, hotels, airports, and the fastest routes between major towns and villages. This knowledge not only improves customer satisfaction but also supports Cyprus’s tourism industry, where visitors rely on taxis for efficient travel. Many taxi operators and ride-hailing platforms also prioritise hiring drivers with excellent local area awareness, recognising that professional licensing and strong route knowledge together create a safe, efficient, and welcoming service for both residents and visitors across Cyprus.
