Taxi in Niš is not expensive. According to Google maps it's 4.5 km from the city center to the hitchhiking spot. Start costs 110 dinars and every km is 40 dinars. That's around 300 dinars in total which is around 2.5 euros. We don't really have those taxis that rip of tourists (because we don't have many tourists so they are not used to it). There are few scammers around main bus station. Legal taxi in Serbia always have TX as last two letters on car plates. It's very difficult to get a taxi by waving with a hand like in movies. Most of taxis are not moving unless they have a ride. To order a taxi you have to call them by phone. If you don't have local sim card, ask someone to call taxi for you and to explain where taxi should pick you up from. Waiting time is usually 3-4 minutes. Most popular taxi companies are: Prvi, City, Cool, Eko, Bros, TDI,...

* I don't advice this, but if in some almost to impossible situation you don't find a direct ride to Belgrade, you may accept a ride to Pojate toll gate or Batocina toll gate. Those two are on the intersection with the road coming from western part of Serbia and you have higher chances to get a ride than if you go to any other city on the way. I know people want to help hitchhikers, but please don't accept rides which will make you stuck on some small toll gate without any traffic.

* You may only accept rides to Požarevac toll gate because from there it's super easy to find a ride to Belgrade. Note that Požarevac city is another 17 km from the toll gate. You don't want to go to the city, only to the toll gate which is 100 meters from the highway.
