TaxiMe app review: receive accurate estimates of taxi fares across the US and Canada

Introduction

If you ever find yourself grossly under- or overestimating how much a taxi is going to cost then this app should help you to plan your journeys far more effectively. It provides you with surprisingly accurate estimations of fares based on your location and intended destination.

The estimations provided by this app are actually pretty accurate, which surprised me because I was expecting them to be off by at least a little.

I would imagine that the accuracy will vary depending on your location but I’m very impressed with what the developer has managed to put together here and would definitely recommend TaxiMe if you’re as useless as I am when it comes to guessing fares and packing my wallet accordingly!

Taxi!

Simplicity is definitely the name of the game when it comes to using TaxiMe.

When you first start using this app, it will use your device’s built-in GPS in order to determine your current location so that it can more effectively help you plan your journeys and estimate taxi fares accordingly.

This app features a very clever automatic rate detection function for all the major cities throughout the United States and Canada so when you select your journeys you can rest assured that you’re receiving the most up-to-date fare information rather than some three-year-old data which hasn’t been updated.

After planning your route you’ll receive a fare estimation for your trip with the added bonus of also receiving suggestions for local cab firms within your area, complete with names, addresses, and general contact details.

 

Is Your City Supported?

Searching for destinations is a real breeze because you don’t have to insert the full address. In fact, you can even search simply by typing in business names before being presented with a list of possible addresses that match your search terms.

At the moment, the developer is still in the process of continually updating and expanding the list of cities which are supported by the TaxiMe service. With this in mind, I’d recommend visiting the taxime website and checking out the supported cities before purchasing this app just to make sure you’ll be able to get some use out of it.

Furthermore, you can visit contact portion of the website in order to provide the developer with a few suggestions if your city isn’t currently supported and I’m sure the developer will be more than happy to work on getting your location supported so that you can use TaxiMe.
