Not just an app: 3 convenient ways to order a taxi in 2023

It seems that in 2023 the only convenient option for ordering a taxi is the smartphone app. But what if the smartphone is discharged, the Internet connection is unstable, or only a regular phone is at hand? We find out how convenient it is to call a taxi together with the Maxim taxi service.

Option 1: order by phone

Many people think that today ordering a taxi by phone is an almost extinct technology that is used only by small regional taxi services that simply do not have the resources to develop a mobile application. But actually it is not. All aggregators and taxi services, including the largest ones, retain the ability to call a taxi by phone. For the convenience of customers, local numbers operate in each region of presence — that is, in Moscow and Saratov, you can equally easily call a car at no extra cost. At the same time, the conservative audience of people who are used to ordering a taxi “the old fashioned way” remains tangible, so this option will be relevant and in demand for a long time to come.

The advantages of calling a taxi by phone:

• no need to install an application, no need to access the Internet, no need to deal with the interface and map;< /li>
• the ability to pay in cash without the need to link bank cards;
• you can explain in detail to the operator the nuances or conditions of the trip, which will be transferred to the driver.

Taxi can be called not only from from a smartphone, but also from a regular mobile phone, from a landline phone and even from a payphone — that is, this option is available even when your own phone is empty or lost.

Option 2: order on the website

If everyone remembers about ordering by phone, but deliberately refuses it, then many do not even know about the possibility of ordering a taxi on the official website of the service. Meanwhile, this is no less convenient and easy way to call a car than an application on a smartphone. For example, right on the main page of the Maxim taxi website there is an order form where you can specify all the data that is also indicated in the application. In addition to the starting point and destination, you can add intermediate addresses for travel, select a fare right away, pre-order a car for a certain time, and even leave wishes for the order. At the same time, the prices for all additional services are known immediately: for example, in Moscow, a car with a large trunk, transporting an animal or driver assistance will cost an additional 100 rubles, and meeting a passenger with a sign costs 300. Here you can immediately indicate how much change will be required , and designate a tip for the driver. In addition, you can specify an additional contact number if the car is ordered for another person.

At the same time, in the list of tariffs, taxi Maxim has not only standard cars, where you can choose a car class, from economy to business, as well as a minivan. There are plenty of other options as well. For example, you can book a car with an hourly rate if the exact timing of the trip or waiting time is unknown. Of the other services — delivery, and here there is not only the opportunity to deliver the already ordered goods, but also ask the driver to buy medicines, goods or products himself and deliver them to the specified address. For car owners, roadside assistance services are of interest: you can order a personal driver to travel in a customer’s car, as well as “technical assistance” — towing your broken car or assistance in starting the engine from a tow or battery. And if you run out of gas on the road, you can also safely call (or write on the site) a taxi — they will help you.
