What to know
## Llanberis taxi fares
Llanberis is the Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa gateway on Llyn Padarn — Gwynedd taxi table; weather and daylight decide the day; this is not a harbour restaurant town.
## Getting around by taxi in Llanberis
Llanberis is the main Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon gateway on Llyn Padarn — lake village and pathheads, not a Caernarfon castle rank and not Betws-y-Coed's A5 hotel strip. National ride-share apps have virtually no presence.
Taxi Arfon (01286 479621, Padarn Road), Snowdonia Taxis Ltd (01286 872447), and PR Snowdonia Taxis (01286 871785) are the practical local phones. Advance booking is essential for post-summit descents, Pen y Pass collections, and Bangor rail connections. Caernarfon is ~7 miles; Bangor ~11. Gwynedd's published maximum table applies to licensed hackney journeys inside the licensing area — private hire quotes are agreed upfront.
