Frequently asked questions
Should I pre-book an airport taxi?
Yes for early flights or peak times. Share terminal, flight time and passenger count when you request help so a local firm can allow traffic buffer.
Are minicabs the same as black cabs?
Rules vary by city. Black cabs can often be hailed in licensed areas; minicabs are usually pre-booked. Say which you prefer or ask for a licensed operator near you.
