Passenger Guides & Tips

When fares are lower and how to avoid surge pricing

Almost everyone who uses taxis in the UK is familiar with the question of why the price of a journey in the app is sometimes higher than expected.

Where it’s better to hail a Black Cab and where an app is more cost-effective

In Britain, especially in its capital, there are two popular ways to use a taxi: hail a legendary Black Cab on the street or use an app such as Uber or Bolt.

Time-saving and toll-avoiding tips

Cars have long been considered the most convenient form of transport for travelling around Europe and the UK, among other places.

Is a child booster seat required, and how to request one?

Transporting children in a taxi is a popular choice for parents in the UK. This solution can be convenient for daily trips to school, transfers to the airport, or even for solving emergency unforeseen situations.

Can the fare be fixed in advance?

Taxi customers in the UK often want to know the cost of a ride in advance. Unlike situations where the price is formed by the meter during the ride, having a fixed rate allows you to avoid unpleasant surprises, especially when ordering during rush hour or going to the airport.

How to recover lost property?

Forgetting something in a taxi is a common occurrence. The phone slipped into the seat gap, the bag was left in the trunk, and sometimes the shopping bag was left on the floor.

Worthing’s a laid-back seaside town, but that doesn’t mean you always want to rely on buses or your own two feet — especially when you’ve got shopping bags from Montague Street, a train to catch, or you’re heading home after a night at the pub.

Over the years, I’ve jumped into my fair share of Worthing taxis — some lovely, some less so. So here’s a no-nonsense breakdown of the cab companies that actually get you where you need to go, without leaving you waiting around in the wind.
