The Business of Taking Taxis

Understanding the process and etiquette of taking taxis when travelling for business purposes is a learned art. Taking cabs around a city to get to and from business meetings, dinners, and conferences is vital, but can be tricky if you are unfamiliar. If you do not have proof of a ride, you may end up paying for that expense out of your own pocket. To avoid this type of confusion, we have compiled our top five tips for travelling via cab when on a business trip. Look these over before and during your travels to ensure a smooth ride and travel experience.

 

  1. When you arrive at the airport, remember you do not hail a cab. There will be a taxi station where they are lined up to take passengers. This is a first come, first serve operation, so remember to wait in line and a taxi will come for you.
  2. Provide as clear of a destination as possible. There are many convention centers, hotels, and events in any given city, so be very specific with the name, street, and intersection if possible. Be prepared when you get into the taxi.
  3. Know that cab etiquette differs just as much as culture does from city to city. Cabs look different, have different meters and have fares that fluctuate. There are different laws for passengers and drivers alike, so be aware and open to these. We suggest using TaxiFareFinder ahead of time to know the price of your fare before it comes time to pay. This way, you will know what to expect and ensure you are not scammed in any way.
  4. Ask for receipt for any taxi ride, even if you use a credit card. Most companies require hard copies of receipts, even if you used a company card, for accounting purposes. Also, if you ever forget something in the cab, you will have the contact information for the driver or the company right there for reference.
  5. As always, double check that you have all of your belongings when exiting the cab. It seems like common sense, but when you are in an unfamiliar place or rushing to a business meeting, you are more likely to forget that bag in the trunk or your phone on the car cushion. Triple check all of your belongings before you slam the taxi door for the last time.

 

Follow these five tips to guarantee smooth travels, or at least your travels using taxis. You can set your mind at ease in between meetings and events so that you are your best self when you arrive. Your boss and company will thank you. Good luck taxi riders!
