Cab services are frequently perceived as for the rich and famous. But this is not the case and more because they are so many hacks that you can use so that to get the best when you are using this service. These hacks will not only cause you to save money, but surprisingly, it will cost less even when compared to renting a car. Here are some of the booking hacks you should know about.

A curbside pickup

If you are among the so many seasoned travelers, then this will be the best travel hack that you can use. It will help so much in ensuring that you arrive at the airport on time. You will have the cab just outside waiting for you, thus helping so much because you will have bypassed the whole parking lot. You will not have to pay for the parking charges, and no time will be wasted as you circle the airport. If you are not familiar with the city that you are in, it will help a lot. It’s difficult sometimes when you have a lot of luggage too when you are at the exit, and there are so many people. But please check the airport’s rule regarding this.

Book directly

So many people think when they are booking with the service online, they are booking directly with them, but that’s not the case. You can use a more direct approach like Yelp to get the company contacts. That site also allows you to see the reviews and the ratings so that you can pick only the best in the business. It requires some time to browse, indeed, but it will help so much because you can negotiate the rates. It will be worth the efforts. 

Delayed airport pickup

When the limo driver reaches the airport station on time, and you are not there, you will be forced to pay extra for the wait time. Therefore, when you want to book a cab service from airports, confirm first how long you will need to go through the customs. Approximately, it will take an hour or two, depending on your immigration documents and luggage. Moreover, you actually don’t need to be afraid of waiting too long for an airport cab because most services will have their units stand by nearby. It won’t make you wait for hours. Even if it turns out like that, there are many cab services available in airports.
