Taxi in Yokohama

The platform lets you book exact rides to airports, hotels, and attractions with transparent fares and confirmed drivers.

Booking ahead means predictable prices and drivers who know the city and its rhythm.
Getting around Yokohama
Yokohama offers several ways to move, but each comes with trade-offs compared with a booked transfer.
Public Transport in Yokohama
Trains and buses form the backbone of travel across Yokohama, with frequent services connecting major hubs. A typical single-ride fare on local trains ranges from ¥150 to ¥310 depending on distance, and buses usually cost around ¥210 for central routes. While cheap, public transport can be crowded, time-consuming with transfers, and inconvenient when carrying luggage or traveling late at night.
Car Rentals in Yokohama
Renting a car gives freedom to explore beyond the city, with daily rates often starting from ¥6,000 for compact models. Fuel costs, tolls, parking fees, and the stress of navigating unfamiliar roads add up quickly. Rentals require paperwork and a license check, and they do not include a driver who knows local shortcuts or the best drop-off points, which GetTransfer drivers provide.
Taxi in Yokohama
Street taxis and phone-hail cabs are widely available across Yokohama, but meter fares begin at about ¥730 and increase with time and distance, often surprising tourists with surge pricing during peak demand. GetTransfer essentially provides taxi services in Yokohama but with more control: you can book in advance, choose the vehicle type and the driver, and lock the price before you travel. The service blends the immediacy of a local cab with extras such as meet-and-greet at the airport, child seats, and transparent fare breakdowns. Drivers listed on the platform hold proper licenses and provide verified services, so you avoid last-minute refusals or unexpected detours. For many trips, the peace of mind and predictability make GetTransfer the better alternative to hailing a random cab on the street.
Transfers from Yokohama
Traditional taxis sometimes hesitate to leave Yokohama, but GetTransfer offers carriers willing to cover short and long distances with clear pricing.
Yokohama rides to nearby areas
Short rides to neighboring wards or nearby towns are common, and GetTransfer lists drivers ready for these trips with fixed fares. Options include transfers to nearby stations, suburban hotels, or recreational areas, with straightforward booking and verified driver profiles. These rides remove the uncertainty of whether a regular taxi will accept an out-of-area trip and let you secure the vehicle size you need.
Yokohama transfers for intercity travel
For longer intercity transfers, GetTransfer connects you with drivers experienced in highway travel and familiar with route planning between cities. Whether you are heading to Tokyo, Hakone, or beyond, the platform shows prices, estimated travel times, and vehicle choices so you can compare options. Unlike some cab drivers who may be reluctant to accept long-distance jobs, verified carriers on GetTransfer are available for trips of varying lengths and needs.
We maintain a large database of professional drivers whose accounts and documents undergo verification to ensure reliable service for both short rides and extended transfers.
Scenic Views Along Routes
Riding by car from Yokohama rewards passengers with calm harbor panoramas, the sweeping skyline along Minato Mirai, and coastal stretches that reveal ships and seaside parks. Routes toward Hakone open up to mountain vistas and winding roads lined with trees, while drives toward the Shonan coast showcase beaches and boardwalks. From the comfort of a private vehicle you can pause for photos, enjoy quieter viewpoints away from crowded stations, and savor changing light over the bay; that relaxed pace is part of the pleasure of choosing a prebooked transfer.
