TAXI IN ORLANDO, FL

 Follow local customs for tipping: While tipping is expected in some places (most low-income countries as well as the USA), it can be refused in other parts of the world (such as Japan).

 Be aware of traffic conditions: During rush hour and special events, taxi travel might be a worse choice than public transportation or than simply walking.

 If possible have a rough idea of where you are going and the fastest way to get there. Dishonest taxi drivers sometimes make unnecessary detours in order to charge higher prices.

 If there is no meter in your taxi or meters aren't used in your destination-country agree on a fare before entering the cab, as once you are in the cab your bargaining power is severely limited if not gone entirely.

 Make sure in advance that you have proper money to pay the ride. Some cabs take credit cards. Some cannot change large banknotes.

 Unlicensed taxis are usually a bad idea as the small amounts of money they might save you are not worth the (sometimes significant) risk of theft, or abduction amongst other risks. Another reason for avoiding unlicensed taxis is that the driver and operator aren't necessarily subject to the safety checks (of both driver and vehicle) that a licensed one would be. If a taxi-driver doesn't have a license, they can't lose it as a punishment for bad behavior, thereby a taxi license discourages criminal, unethical or unsafe practices to some extent.

 Avoid taking taxis parked outside tourist attractions or hotels, as these taxi drivers are likely to be waiting to scam unsuspecting tourists. Instead, flag down a taxi that is cruising down the street, find a taxi stand that is used by the locals, or use a ride-hailing app, as you are more likely to get an honest driver in these ways.

 Find out what the major reputable taxi companies your destination city are if they exist, and stick only to taxis operated by those companies, as the risk of scams is far lower.

 When arriving at a major airport and there is no public transit option you'd consider viable, avoid touts in the arrival hall and only use the official taxi stand.

 A motorcycle taxi, also known as an auto rickshaw, baby taxi or tuk-tuk is a three-wheeled motorcycle for passenger transport. It is common in large cities, especially in Asia. 21st century models tend to be electric. Also plain motorcycles, mopeds or bikes are used at some destinations, such as the boda-bodas of East Africa. For examples, see Thailand#Tuk-tuk or Philippines#By tricycle.

 A shared taxi is usually a van or minibus, sometimes a regular car, for many passengers. They are common in low-income countries. In Africa, shared intercity taxis are called bush taxis.

 A limousine is a luxury car for rent, typically at higher rate than a regular taxi, sometimes with a bar and electronic entertainment on board.

 If you are staying in a place with good public transportation using it might often work out to be not only cheaper but faster as well.

 Many city-centers are entirely walkable and if you aren't mobility impaired a two or three kilometer stroll is entirely doable. Also walking is a great way to get to know a place and you can simply enter any interesting shops, restaurants or museum you might pass without the driver having to look for (often scarce) inner-city parking space.

 In more and more places, cycling is the best way to go short to medium distances and several cities around the world have implemented bike-sharing programs that are a great alternative for visitors as well as locals. Bikes are available for rent in many more places.

 Ride hailing services such as Uber, Haxi and Lyft offer taxi-like service using private vehicles in many cities. Ridesharing and hitchhiking may also be alternatives.

 Taxis are most frequently used for getting to and from airports. Look around, if there really is no public connection or shuttle service of any kind, you may ask whether your hotel offers pick up and drop off service. This is sometimes free to encourage you to stay at their hotel and more often than not cheaper than a taxi. In Europe and increasingly East Asia a major airport without a rail or urban rail connection is a rare sight indeed. Even notorious no frills airports like Hahn nowadays at least have a bus connection (sometimes bookable through the airline website, although there may be cheaper ways)

 If you are staying in a place for a longer time or plan to go on a road-trip anyway consider renting a car, with or without a driver. Carsharing services are an alternative provider for short term self-serve hire car rentals.

There is no need for sat navs – our brains are our sat navs! We will put together a route and a tour to suit each individual customer, making your trip with us completely unique.

 Drivers must memorise all the streets and points of interest (courts, theatres, public buildings, train stations, restaurants, hotels, business addresses etc.) within a six-mile radius of Charing Cross. There are thousands of streets, and over 15 thousand hotels – and we know the best routes between them all.

 Study hard. It takes the average taxi driver around 3-4 years to study and develop a comprehensive knowledge of London.

 Becoming a London taxi driver is not easy. We study hard and we know London like no other profession. You are in safe hands during your taxi tour.

 On top of all our London-based knowledge, we have all studied to become qualified guides. We know how to communicate our stories to our customers and to make sure everyone gets the most out of their tour with us.

 The tour guide course we studied is specifically for taxi drivers, so we have complemented the knowledge we already have with an accredited guiding qualification. Some of our guides are also qualified City of London Guides and City of Westminster Guides, accredited by the City University and University of Westminster. We will use our vast knowledge to tell you the stories, facts and figures that will interest you.

 Taxi drivers make excellent tour guides. We know London like nobody else. When a taxi driver is your tour guide, you know you will be seeing the top sights, hearing the most relevant facts, and getting between locations as quickly as possible. We do so much more than just drive – we can park up, show you around, take you to the destinations you want to see and give you the full London experience.

 Your driver guide will know London in a way that only a professional driver can. Shortcuts, secret locations, facts galore… nothing is beyond the realms of a taxi driver’s knowledge. This is why taxi drivers make such good guides. If you think you will just be sat in a taxi all day, think again (unless you want to be, of course! If you want to sit back, relax and enjoy the sights, just tell us).

 Our guides all have different specialisms and can offer you a vast array of tours. This is one of the things that make us unique as a tour company – we have such an amazing pool of talent. Most taxi drivers work alone, but we have gathered together a group of individuals who do more than just drive. Your driver will also be your personal guide for the day, showing you the sights and tailoring your tour to make sure it meets your individual interests.
