Sometimes calling a taxi turns into a real problem. The driver is looking for a client, the dispatcher is nervous, and the client cannot figure out where his car is.
Instructions
Step 1
Better expensive, but neat. In case of an urgent trip, contact only a trusted taxi service. You can run a test trip or check the services of a service whose business card was thrown into the mailbox, even at a quieter time. In the event of an emergency, an accident or a city holiday, the waiting time for the car is delayed by thirty to fifty minutes. Many services have a taxi call at a specific time or "taxi booking". If an important trip is planned in the evening, then it is better to book a taxi in the morning, and in the afternoon call and check if the dispatcher has lost the order. Is it possible.
Step 2
Dispatchers work in constant noise, are distracted by a million irritants, and drivers' radios do not always catch well. This is why it is important to literally dictate the address. If the house number implies a two-digit or three-digit number, then they need to be dictated a little slower and louder, and one at a time. Do not be embarrassed by the dispatcher's nervousness or even rudeness. His nervous system is not your problem. And if you have an important meeting breaks down, the taxi service will not compensate you for possible losses, and even more so for moral damage.
Step 3
Politeness and persistence. If the car does not arrive for a long time, you should not scold the innocent dispatcher girl, and even more so show yourself in front of her with connections and status. This is stupid. Better to start the conversation politely by how many minutes you've already been waiting. And ask: "Does it make sense to wait longer?" Nerving the driver is more expensive. After all, this person will be lucky for you. And your life depends on his emotional state, reaction. Especially on a problem track.
Step 4
Don't get blacklisted. Some especially cheerful customers call two or three taxi services at the same time and wait for which car will arrive faster. It should be remembered that taxi bases usually wander from one service to another. And in many cities there are so-called black lists, in which pranksters are entered. And then they wonder why they are unlucky. And when they call the taxi, all the cars are busy. Always.
