It is safer to use officially marked taxis, although many taxis are unlicensed. Travellers are advised to agree a fare in advance, and not to share taxis with strangers. As many of the street names have changed since independence, it is also advisable to ascertain both the old and the new street names when asking directions. Cars can be hired by the trip, by the hour or by the day or week. An International Driving Permit will be required when car-hire facilities have been introduced.
Public transport is cheap and generally reliable.
Valuables should not be flaunted. There are regular bus services to all major towns in Uzbekistan. Terms and Conditions apply.
