GringoTaxi:

The Best Choice for your Taxi Needs

In a city of 10 million plus, there are no shortage of transportation choices. And yet, there seems to be a real lack of good ones. That’s where we come in.

Phone-in taxi dispatch services often outsource your call which can make things difficult if you have a sudden change of plans. Making matters worse, you have no way of contacting your driver. Plus, the quoted time of arrival is never certain. Call centers love to tell you what you want to hear: Someone will be there in no time at all! An hour later and you’ve missed your flight. Inferior service and inferior prices: Who wants that?

Applications are the latest taxi craze, but they’re not perfect either. Picky drivers accept your ride only to steer in the opposite direction until you cancel (and pay). Amateur drivers are everywhere with these apps, putting you at risk. What’s worse, the size of the companies behind the apps can make customer service almost non-existent.

And don’t even get us started on cabs in the street. Prices fluctuate wildly given the mood and moment. Haggling is practically mandatory. The driving will turn your knuckles white and leave you needing an extra dose of blood pressure medication. And when you have luggage to haul or a plane to catch, you need something more reliable.

While many of Lima’s cab drivers are honest individuals with everything in order, a significant percentage are illegal. Suspended licenses, derelict cars, and even some criminal drivers share the roads with the rest of us. For your safety and peace of mind, you need something better.

Now imagine a taxi service that gives you an honest, fair price, up front. When you contact GringoTaxi, we put you in touch with a real person: your driver. He gives you the exact time of arrival, and is waiting for you downstairs 5 minutes before.

Despite the traffic around you, your driver seems cool and calm. The ride is pleasant and relaxing. One less stress out of your day. You might even start up a friendly conversation in English. That’s the kind of experience that GringoTaxi offers. It’s worlds apart from what you’re used to. With us, safety, punctuality, courtesy, and professionalism are the standard, not a luxury option.
