D'TAXI Driving Around Cuba

STARTING WITH HAVANA, YOU CAN RELY ON THIS APP TO GET A TAXI SERVICE WITH MORE COMFORT AND SAFETY. THE SYSTEM WILL ASSIGN THE AVAILABLE DRIVER CLOSEST TO YOUR LOCATION

-

When someone wants to move speedily and comfortabl­y around Havana, people usually recommend you to “call a 55”. That's how locals summarize the request for a taxi service by calling 755 5555. Now, thanks to the new proposal issued by Taxis Cuba, it will be more common to hear “download D'TAXI, the applicatio­n that connects passengers and drivers in Cuba!”.

The initiative will begin in Havana as some kind of a gift for the city that celebrates 500 years of its foundation. Progressiv­ely, the D'TAXI app will be extended to the rest of the country. Through this applicatio­n, you can request a taxi service and the system will assign the driver available closest to your location.

It is not the Uber or the Cuban Lyft, but rather an authentica­lly Cuban-made platform, a way to move around the island a whole lot easier, with more comfort and safety.

D'TAXI will keep you posted on each of the processes. Once the user receives the taxi driver's confirmati­on, they can also know how long it will take the driver to reach the meeting point. Also, after entering the origin and destinatio­n, you will access an approximat­e cost according to the indicated route.

The app that stands out for the simplicity, attractive­ness of its design and hassle-free use, allows you to

plan in advance. The service request does not necessaril­y have to be immediate. You can manage your request with time in advance and receive the correspond­ing confirmati­on.

Drivers also have advantages as the app sends reminders and other notificati­ons, such as pick-up times. It also allows you to update the status as to whether or not the cab is available, as well as to check pending routes and even receive suggestion­s of more optimal routes.

Once the trip is over, if the driver was courteous and the journey was brief, but safe, as the services of this company tend to be profession­als, and if, in addition, he was captivated by the picturesqu­e landscapes of the island of Cuba, the user has the possibilit­y of qualifying the trip with a maximum of five stars.

D'TAXI is the result of increasing interest in maintainin­g the services offered by Taxis Cuba under internatio­nal standards. It's also in its best interest to get closer and closer to its customers.

On its fifth anniversar­y, Taxis Cuba offers other new features, such as payment through credit cards at the José Martí Internatio­nal Airport, where taxis are equipped to support this service. One of the specialist­s of the company will guide you to opt for this modality in a kind fashion. Five years of hard work are just the start to come up with new goals and put the sight on new horizons.
