Radio Taxi Estepona

What Radio Taxi Estepona does

Radio Taxi Estepona is a private professional taxi drivers association operating under the legal entity UNION LOCAL DE AUTOTURISMO ESTEPONA (CIF G29586617), founded in 1992 and headquartered at the Palacio de Congresos de Estepona in Málaga, Spain. The association consolidates the majority of taxi licenses across the municipalities of Estepona, Manilva, and Casares, and extends service to the broader Costa del Sol area including Marbella, San Pedro de Alcántara, and Sabinillas. Its service portfolio consists of five core offerings: airport transfer, airport pick-up with flight tracking, tourist excursions across Andalusian cities, scheduled recurring transfers, and Eurotaxi wheelchair-accessible transport. All services are coordinated through a radio-dispatch system, an online reservation portal, and fixed taxi stands.

The underlying technology stack is minimal and traditional: a centralized radio dispatch connecting customers and drivers via telephone (952.80.29.00), a basic PHP-based online booking form on a registered website domain, and a Facebook page for customer engagement. The association has no mobile app, no public API, no SDK, and no proprietary software assets. Pricing is fully regulated under Spanish municipal taxi fare rules, structured into three tariff tiers (Tarifa 3 daytime at €0.95/km, Tarifa 4 nighttime/weekend at €1.18/km, Tarifa 5 special holidays) in effect since September 20, 2013, with fares calculated via official taximeters.

The business model is usage-based metered taxi service under a cooperative-style association structure. Revenue mechanics work through member drivers collecting fares, while the association itself functions as a coordinating body providing dispatch, marketing, and shared infrastructure. Customer segments are primarily tourists and visitors (airport transfers, excursions), local residents and commuters (scheduled transfers), and mobility-impaired passengers (Eurotaxi). The association holds GDPR-compliant data handling certifications and operates with a lean direct headcount of 7 employees, primarily administrative and dispatch staff, with the fleet operated by independent member drivers.
