Discover the convenient ride-hailing experience offered by BetterTaxi, connecting passengers with local taxi drivers at competitive prices.
BetterTaxi is a ride-hailing smartphone app launched in 2019 that aims to disrupt the taxi industry by providing passengers access to safer, higher-quality taxis at affordable prices. The app connects users with licensed local taxi drivers instantly for on-demand or pre-scheduled rides.
Unlike some rideshare services that rely on non-professional drivers, BetterTaxi vets every driver on its platform to ensure they are licensed, insured, background-checked, and committed to providing excellent service. Passengers can view driver profiles with ratings and reviews from past riders before booking.
The BetterTaxi app provides fare estimates so users know what to expect to pay. Fares are calculated based on time and distance traveled and aim to be 5-15% cheaper on average than traditional taxi services in the same city. The app also includes features riders have come to expect from modern ride-hailing services, like estimated pickup times, driver tracking from pickup to dropoff, and seamless in-app payments.
BetterTaxi is initially available in 12 major US cities and plans to expand nationally and then globally in the coming years. With its focus on safety, reliability and affordability, the company aims to provide an improved taxi booking and riding experience compared to legacy taxi services and competing transportation startups.
