Searching for “taxi near me”?

The cost of your taxi ride will depend on factors like the distance between your pickup and dropoff points. Before you request a taxi with Uber, you’ll be shown an estimated ride price.

With upfront pricing, you can review an estimated taxi price before requesting a ride, then decide if the rate works with your budget. If you’re open to non-taxi transportation options, you can compare the estimated taxi price with that of other Uber ride options in the app and see if there’s a more affordable choice you’d prefer to get you from pickup to dropoff.

To learn how to request a taxi near you using Uber, follow the steps outlined above on this page.

When you request a taxi with Uber, there’s no need to call a cab company or taxi driver directly. Instead, you can request a taxi—in the cities where taxis are available on Uber—just as you would an Uber ride option like UberX. Once you’re matched with a driver, you have the option of contacting them directly through the Uber app.

One of the benefits of using Uber to get a taxi nearby is that you can request one from anywhere. There’s no need to find a cab stand or hail a taxi from the street.

When you request a taxi ride with Uber, you’ll be matched with the closest one available. If there are none, you’ll be notified accordingly. Another benefit of using Uber to request a taxi is that if there aren’t any taxis near you, you can consider selecting a different Uber ride option to cover your transportation needs.

If taxis are available in your city, they’ll be listed as one of the ride options available to you in the Uber app. If you prefer to get a taxi nearby to go from point A to point B, be sure to select Uber Taxi before making your ride selection.

The number of passengers your local taxi accommodates will be listed in the app. You’ll be shown this information up front so you can select a ride option that fits your needs accordingly.

Whether you opt for taxi service or UberX, you’ll pay for your ride the same way: with the payment method on file. You’ll be charged automatically, so you can ride whether you have your wallet or cash on hand or not.
