White taxis
Flag one down, or telephone one of the companies below.
Charter hire (دربستی). You take the whole car and agree the fare for your own journey - the usual choice for going somewhere specific with luggage.

Getting around the island
Taxis, the island’s two minibus routes and the ride-hailing apps - what runs, who to telephone, and what nobody publishes.
Taxis
Yellow taxis
Wait at a marked stop; they run the route rather than taking you off it.
Fixed routes (خطی), shared with other passengers, working from set stops. The island’s cheapest way to cover the Safein–city centre–Marjan spine.
The mainland ride-hailing app, working here as it does everywhere else: set your origin and destination, accept the quoted fare, and the request goes out. On Kish, licensed taxis get first refusal on a request and private cars follow.
The other mainland app, and the same idea - with most cars here privately owned rather than licensed taxis.
