How safe are taxis? This is a frequent question from travelers. Travelers coming to a foreign country often use taxi services. The most common route for taxi requests is the airport and the desired destination in the city. If you're already paying for a taxi service, it's time to ensure the safety of that service, and that's totally fine.
Taxi vehicles and safety
Taxi safety depends on many factors, including the condition of the vehicle, the experience and training of the driver. Safety also includes the laws and regulations of the country you are visiting. The law in a certain region or country may not be the same as in your country. Security measures taken to protect travelers vary from country to country, and sometimes even from region to region within the same country. Believe it or not, a frequent decision for a taxi service is the driving rules.
Factors in taxi security
Key factors affecting taxi safety:
Technical condition of the vehicle: The technical condition of taxi vehicles plays a key role in their safety. Taxi vehicles should be regularly maintained in order to ensure the correctness of the mechanical systems, brakes, tires, lights and other components of the vehicle. Of course, our taxi service checks its taxi vehicles every day, and for this reason we guarantee the complete safety of passengers and luggage.
2. Experience and training of drivers: Taxi drivers should have appropriate training and driving experience. Drivers with good driving skills and knowledge of local roads and traffic rules contribute to greater safety. Our taxi drivers know the roads and locations well, and due to their extensive experience, there is no location or place they have not been to at least three times. For this reason, we often suggest through texts that you can ask us for various recommendations of places, locations or hotels.
3. Vehicle safety systems: Many modern taxi cars are equipped with safety systems, such as ABS brakes, stability control systems, multiple airbags and quality seat belts. Driving quality is something basic that must be taken for granted. Of course, if you are traveling with small children, additional safety seats for them are provided by us, and of course we did not skimp on quality here.
4. Laws and Regulations Laws and regulations relating to taxiing may vary from region to region. Some regions require special safety measures for taxis, including regular roadworthiness tests and driver checks. When you rent a taxi from us, be sure that each vehicle has passed a technical inspection and that our drivers undergo regular inspections. Safety on the road is equal to a good, technically sound vehicle and a capable drive
