On my last trip to Prague I learned to call for taxis myself (on the advice of several expats). I used both AAA (tel. 1080 or 2432 2432) and ProfiTaxi (tel. 1035). IMO, this is really the only way to go by taxi in Prague as most others are mafiosa-run.</font>
I had heard so much about Prague taxis, that I walked from the train station to my hotel so as to not have to deal with it. The only cab I took was from the hotel to the airport. However, the cost for the hotel car was about what the "rip-off" rate was listed in one of my guides, so I didn't really gain anything other than peace-of-mind!
AAA is still in the currrent edition of several of my travel guides as the honest taxi service of choice.
Sorry that it's not first-hand... have a good trip. I hope to make it back before the switch to the Euro!
