Searching for “taxi near me”?
Next time you find yourself looking up “taxi near me,” consider opening the Uber app. You now have the option to request a taxi on demand using Uber in select cities around the world.
How to get a taxi near you
Uber makes it easy to get a taxi nearby. There’s no need to find a cab stand, hail a cab on the street, or even call the local cab company in the cities where Uber Taxi is available. Instead, you can use the Uber app or website to request a taxi in just a few taps or clicks. Here’s how:
1. Request a taxi near you
Enter and confirm your preferred pickup and destination addresses. Make sure they’re correct, then select Uber Taxi. This will ensure that you request a taxi nearby, instead of UberX, for example.
After you’ve been matched with a driver, you’ll see their vehicle details and can track their arrival on the map.
2. Match with a nearby taxi driver
Once you’ve requested the ride, we’ll look to match you with a taxi driver near you. Upon being matched, you’ll see their vehicle details and can track their arrival on the map. When the taxi arrives, check that the vehicle details match what you see in the app before getting in. You’ll see the car’s color noted—perhaps indicating that a yellow cab will be picking you up—and its plate numbers, so you know what to look for.
3. Complete and pay for your taxi ride
Your taxi driver will have turn-by-turn directions to your destination, so you don’t have to worry about the route. Once your trip is complete, you’ll be automatically charged through your payment method on file, so you can exit the vehicle as soon as you arrive. The total cost should reflect the upfront trip price you were shown before requesting the taxi ride.
