Summer peak : Taxis in recent years have been in short supply ( authorities not licensing enough drivers!) , so consider a private transfer from/to Airport especially flights home.
Unfortunately Menorca Airport does not have public Airport / Shuttle Buses direct to any beach resorts. The Airport Bus (no.10) is not a great Transfer option .
Airport Taxis Can ony carry 4 passengers by law and don't offer child seats to book

How easy is it to get a taxi in Menorca?
Don't expect instant Smartphone convenience! - relaxed Menorca is not like that :-). You have a few options - We test these out each year to prove they work!!
All methods only get you to the same Taxis that may have limited availability
Taxis can only pickup in their licenced area,so if it is busy locally you may have to wait.
1Taxi! can be a bit hit and miss. Don't rely on the Taxi current location tracking!
