Order a taxi whenever you need one
The global crisis has come along with loads of low-cost businesses. And although on some occasions you pay in accordance with the quality received, others have worked out quite well. Similar to the case of Uber, the driver company that's on the borderline between legality and illegality, we've also got Cabify - Enjoy the ride that also comes along with contradictory opinions. Let's see what it's all about.
Let's be honest: ordinary taxis are expensive. Taxi drivers have a hard time getting customers and they can't give away journeys. And then we've got all those special rates, such as going to and from airports, train stations, and others. But thanks to the fact that there are loads of people with some free time and others willing to save some money, we've now got this tool. Thanks to this app, you can find out if there's any Cabify driver willing to take you where you need to go, the cost of the journey and the kind of vehicle available. Once you order the taxi, you can see how it approaches your position in real-time. In general, all journeys are cheaper than traditional taxis, which is one of the reasons of its success.
Order a car through the application and a private driver will pick you up in a matter of minutes.
Although some drivers try to buy your maximum ratings through tiny gifts, in all cars you can choose the music and the temperature. The guys behind the app guarantee that all drivers are reliable and trustworthy, with their paperwork up to date and with the experience necessary for their job. Depending on your needs and the price you're willing to pay, you can choose between different services:
- Lite.
- Electric.
- Executive.
- Group.
- Ecotaxi.
And what if you just want to send something to the other side of the city? Well, you can also do that. Just hand over your parcel to the driver and he'll get it to its destination.
Different kinds of vehicles depending on your location and needs.
Looking for a job? You can always try your look becoming part of its fleet of car drivers, provided that you've got your own private vehicle and you're willing to pay a fee for its service.
How to pay?
