Riga airport has recently implemented a taxi voucher system to combat scammy taxi services. You can read about it here and here.
But to any of our dear guests visiting Riga who plan on getting a taxi from RIX into the city, I strongly advise against using these vouchers for now. Why? The price!
A single use one-way voucher costs EUR 33,50 and includes a ride only within this zone:
If your drive goes outside of this zone you will be charged additionally based on the rate of the taxi service you are using (which is nearly unlimited).
What's the PSA? This is a rip-off. It is an incredibly expensive way to get to the city. Use Bolt instead. A ride from the airport to anywhere within this zone shouldn't cost more than EUR 15.

Or just take the bus, which is 10x cheaper.
I agree, but even cheaper and convinient option I prefer – use carsharing like CarGuru, CityBee, Bolt Drive.
