What to expect on your first taxi journey - a guide for new customers

Travelling by taxi is one of the most convenient and safe modes of transport, especially when the weather or circumstances demand speed and comfort. It is also one of the most practical transports we can choose for a nice and fun evening. But if you haven't travelled by taxi before, there are likely to be various questions about what to expect and how to make your experience as easy and enjoyable as possible.

In this article, we've picked practical and useful tips to help you feel relaxed and confident when using a taxi service for your needs.

What do you need to know before ordering a taxi?

Before you make your first booking, it's important to know a few basics:

Choose a licensed taxi company

Before you begin your journey, always choose a vetted and licensed taxi company, such as Classic Taxi. A license is a guarantee that the company complies with all legal requirements and provides a high quality service. Licensed taxis are clearly marked with identification numbers and fares, giving you peace of mind and confidence. Moreover, the drivers in these companies undergo special training and strictly follow traffic and road safety rules to ensure your hassle-free transportation.

Check tariffs

Before ordering a taxi, it's important to look at the rates offered by the company to avoid unpleasant surprises. Usually night and day fares differ, with night fares being higher. Also check if there are additional charges, such as for baggage or standing and waiting on site. Knowing the prices in advance will help you plan your spending more effectively and enjoy your trip.

Determine your route

To make your journey as smooth as possible, it's a good idea to know the exact address of your start and end destination before you book a taxi. Share this clearly with the dispatcher and/or driver to avoid any confusion. If you have a preference for a route - e.g. faster, more scenic, or want to share your ride with someone else, feel free to share it. Preparation and clear communication will save you time and ensure a more enjoyable experience.

Check the payment methods offered

The convenience of payment and the different ways available are important aspects that should not be overlooked. Before ordering a car, make sure that the company offers your preferred payment method, be it cash or card. This upfront specification will give you peace of mind, especially if your trip is spontaneous and you are not prepared with an exact amount of cash.

Imagine how nice it would be to order a taxi with ease in several possible ways and be greeted with a smile and the confidence that you will get to your desired location safely and on time. These are the core principles that Classic Taxi Haskovo strives for - to provide high quality services that not only meet customer expectations, but exceed them. With professional drivers, well-maintained vehicles and attention to detail, we make sure your journey is not just comfortable, but enjoyable.

You will be greeted professionally.

The driver will greet you and help you if you have luggage. He will ask for your preferred route or follow the quickest route to your desired destination.

A pleasant and comfortable environment

Licensed taxis are clean and well maintained. You can adjust the temperature or ask for a stop if necessary. In addition, drivers are often willing to accommodate your preferences for music or silence, further enhancing the experience. Also, don't hesitate to let them know if you need to stop for a moment during your journey to your final destination.

Safety and security

Drivers of licensed companies undergo special safety training and are familiar with the rules when travelling by taxi. Thanks to their practice and professional experience, they know how to react appropriately in different situations, providing you with peace of mind and confidence while on the road. Each vehicle undergoes regular technical checks, ensuring that your journey will not only be comfortable but also completely safe.

Taxi rules - how to feel confident?

To make your journey as comfortable as possible, it's a good idea to follow some basic rules:

• Choose the back seat: If you are travelling alone, choose to sit in the back seat. This not only provides more comfort, but also gives you more space. Plus, the back seat is considered the safest seat in the car, which will give you extra peace of mind.
• Give clear instructions: if you have specific route preferences or want to avoid certain areas, feel free to share them with the driver beforehand.
• Avoid distracting the driver: For the safety of everyone in the car, it is important not to distract the driver. Avoid loud conversations, loud music, or using the phone in a way that may disrupt their concentration.
• Check your personal belongings: Before getting out of the taxi, take a few seconds to check that you haven't forgotten anything in the car. Experience has shown that the most commonly forgotten items are a phone, purse, keys or other personal luggage. But even if this happens, don't worry. Contact the taxi company immediately and give precise and clear instructions that will help them find your belongings quickly and without any problems.

Following these seemingly simple but important rules will make your taxi journey relaxed and enjoyable, ensuring your safety and comfort throughout the entire route.
