If you're going to use a taxi, use the Flywheel app -- it gives you the hail-without-talking-to-someone, see-where-your-car-is-on-a-map, and pay-through-the-app features of Uber/Lyft without surge pricing. Availability is fairly dependent on what part of the city you're in, though.
- baddox 12y agoMight want to be careful with Flywheel. I only used it once, and it defaulted to a 20% gratuity on top of the taxi rate which is usually already higher than Uber/Lyft/Sidecar (unless there's a large surge price). I heard from a friend that the gratuity is adjustable, but the entire experience of Sidecar (the one I almost always use) is far superior in my opinion.
- zorpner 12y agoYup, good call. It's generally cheaper during surge, but more expensive if not. I have a ton of credits still so I'm less price-sensitive for it.
