London Taxi Booking Options
BetterTaxi offers three booking options that fit every type of traveler. We have our Taxi Service, Premium Economy Transfer, and Business Transfer. The cost of a taxi varies depending on distance, traffic, route, and number of passengers. These prices also depend on local tariffs and standard London taxi fares. For groups of more than 7 people check out our event service.
A licensed taxi driver will pick you up curbside in the same way as if you call for a cab, help with your luggage, and allow free cancellations. For Premium Economy Transfers and Business Transfers, a licensed chauffeur will pick you up also at an event location or in arrivals with a name card. They’ll help with your luggage, track your flight, wait for your arrival, and drive longer distances. These services come at a fixed price and can be made by Paypal or card payment online. While you don’t have to worry about paying and tipping in a London cab. These private hire services also allow you to pre-book a large taxi van when traveling as a group or family.

London travel tips
If you’re visiting London, there are a few travel tips to keep in mind, especially if it’s your first time.
- Museums and galleries are mostly free so stretch your budget by checking them out. The British Museum, Natural History Museum and Science Museum are all great choices.
- London Underground, or the "London tube", is great. For sightseeing the above ground transportation is better. Take a tour on a London double-decker bus or flag down a "hackney carriage", as London's black cabs are also referred to.
- London is massive so if your time is limited, choose one or two main areas to explore. If you want to have a more active trip, you can hire a taxi or minicab near you to take you from region to region.
- Tipping isn’t essential so you don’t have to break the bank tipping cab drivers, bartenders, or service staff.
- London is multicultural. Try one of the excellent restaurants! There is more to the city of London than Fish n’ Chips.
