GetTaxi is a new app which aims to provide a safe, reliable and cost efficient booking service for black taxis in London.
 
GetTaxi allows Smartphone users (iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Nokia) to order a taxi at the tap of a button on their mobile device or via a web interface.  The GetTaxi mobile app geographically locates the passenger via GPS and issues their request to the closest available taxis via GetTaxi’s special driver units.  Once the booking has been accepted by the driver, a confirmation notification is sent to the passenger containing the driver’s photo, personal and vehicle details, estimated time of arrival and a GoogleMap showing their real-time progress to the pickup address.

On the ordering side, GetTaxi creates a dedicated profile page for each business with its very own GetTaxi button. A taxi will be dispatched to the business address whenever that button is clicked. The passenger or whoever booked the taxi, such as a PA or receptionist, can view the status of the taxi’s arrival in real time.  Businesses can upload their entire staff list, set permissions and rules for taxi usage, and GetTaxi will provide it’s mobile app to all employees free of charge.

Passengers can also rate the driver, save their pick-up and destination addresses and share their ride details instantly with their friends on social networks including Twitter and Facebook.  Business can also accumulate Taxi Miles no matter who rides - so you can collect points for every order placed and use them to redeem gifts and free rides.
