How to choose a taxi

Not everyone has their own car. And car owners sometimes find themselves without a four-wheeled friend: repairs, maintenance, a trip to a foreign city. In a word, almost everyone uses taxi services at least occasionally. In any major city you will always find a wide variety of taxi services. In smaller cities, the choice may not be rich, but, nevertheless, you will find taxis everywhere. So how do you learn to navigate the world of passenger transportation? How to determine where the more favorable rates are and where the highest quality service is?

Taxi companies choose memorable names for themselves. Some use a short phone number as the company name. And sometimes not short, but easy to remember. Others call themselves by the city or district where their main base is located.

But everyone understands perfectly well that the name is not a guarantee of quality or reasonable price. Therefore, it should be understood what a reasonable taxi customer is guided by when choosing a carrier. A good argument would be a friend's recommendation. Especially if he regularly uses the same taxi service and is confident in its fares, dispatchers and drivers. Another reference point may be the statistics of online reviews of taxis. However, it is worth considering the paid reviews that are fashionable these days, which are written to order by copywriters. Such reviews do not guarantee you anything. But in the discussions on city forums, you may well get useful information and draw conclusions.

But, suppose, neither a familiar adviser nor the Internet was at hand. How to determine which taxi to call? Start with the quality of the logo and the source of advertising information. Reputable companies have a logo, advertising, business card, flyer - everything will be done efficiently. Successful companies do not skimp on identity and advertising. But if you saw a phone number and the word "Taxi", written on a construction fence with paint, it is not worth risking and wasting time on a call. Another factor that speaks about the level of service is the dialogue with the dispatcher. The dispatcher must answer clearly, navigate the city well, know the names of streets and districts of the city, confidently answer questions about additional services (a child car seat, waiting for more than 5 minutes, the presence of a large trunk, and so on). If the conversation with the dispatcher causes you uncertainty, refuse and call another service. Very often, it is the fault of unqualified dispatchers that cars are sent to the wrong address, drivers are uninformed about the nuances of the trip, and customers are late to their destination.
