Travelers who wish to supplement their use of public transportation with quicker options will find that taxis are an excellent option for getting around Leipzig. Taxis can be easily hailed on the streets or located at all major tourist attractions. Taxis are, of course, more expensive than public transportation, but they are also efficient. They are all privately operated but rates should be fairly standard and cars should be metered.
Travelers can opt to rent a car to get around although it is not necessary to do so because of the convenience of these other options. Travelers who do decide to rent a car are reminded that autobahn travel in Leipzig can be intense and standard road safety precautions should always be observed.
