Question

Will taxis charge extra if someone else travels with me?

Community Answer

No. Most taxis charge based on either distance or time, not people. If you aren't sure, ask the driver.

Question

I booked a taxi that I didn't use but still got charged for -- is this correct?

Community Answer

It depends upon the policy of the taxi agency. If you did not inform them that you were no longer taking the taxi, it is normal that they charge you. If you informed them in advance, they might need to give you your money back.

Question

Can I call for a taxi a few hours before I leave, or should I call right when I leave?

Community Answer

It depends on the company. Some companies allow you to call and say what time you would like the taxi to arrive, while others request that you call only when you need to leave.
