The taxis, the yellows(or sometimes black) are a familiar view at the airports and taxi stands. They provide a cheap and supply-ready option for travellers. Let us look into the advantages and disadvantages to help you appreciate whether a taxi would suit your kind of journey.
Accessibility: No booking in advance is required! Taxis can be found at the most popular locations and designated spots and provide an instant solution to travel.
Wallet-Friendly Rides: Unlike limos, taxis have nominal fares that will suit budget-minded travellers.
Variety for Everyone: Whether you’re moving alone or with a company, a taxi would probably serve you. If you need a compact car for a small group or a spacious SUV for bigger luggage, you can use the standard sedan or the SUV.
Long wait: Be aware that delays may occur due to queues and traffic conditions. That is not the best way to kick off your trip with waiting in line.
Not specialized for the group: Choosing a taxi to travel in the group is not a good idea as there may be issues with coordinating, booking multiple taxis and navigating traffic.
Taxis are not readily available for all locations: You will only find taxis at some popular spots whereas you can decide your pickup, route and destination with a limousine.
Reliability: Although the majority of taxi services are reliable, the standards of individual drivers and vehicles can differ, which makes the service experience inconsistent.
Safety First: In most cases, they are safe, but be careful as there might be scammers or unprofessional people. Pick a reputable taxi company, and pay attention to your gut feelings.
Comfort Essentials Only: No cozy interiors or entertainment systems to expect. Taxis provide you with comfort such as air conditioning and limited space.
