Gdańsk Christmas market
In 2026 the market runs from 20 November to 23 December in central Gdańsk. Evenings and weekends bring lots of rides to and from the Main Town — but also traffic and closed streets. Wait on the edge of the centre, where pickups are easy.
Office parties
From late November to mid-December, especially on Thursdays and Fridays, companies hold Christmas parties. Most rides come late in the evening and at night, from restaurants and hotels.
Holiday travel
- A few days before Christmas Eve — lots of rides to stations and the airport.
- Christmas Eve and Christmas Day — usually quieter, but few drivers are out.
- After Christmas — returns from stations and the airport.
New Year’s Eve
- The biggest rush starts after midnight and lasts until morning.
- Prices rise with surge, but waits for passengers are longer — be patient.
- Fill up early and charge your phone — stations can be busy at night.
- Carry bags, wipes and cleaner. If a passenger soils the car, take photos and report it in the app — see soiled car and lost items.
- Safety first: with an aggressive passenger, end the ride in a safe place.
Winter roads
December also means snow and ice. Get the car ready: winter taxi driving.
Hours and demand are typical observations, not a guarantee. Check city announcements about closed streets and events.
