Dublin Taxi Services
One thing Dublin City is not short of and that's taxi's. No matter what time of day you will always be able to locate a Taxi in the city centre. Like any other city though one should take caution before stepping into a Taxi. Here are some tips on using Taxi's in Dublin.
If possible call the main Taxi dispatch office to order a cab. If staying in a hotel ask at reception for recommended Taxi companies.
Whenever possible use Taxi's that are located in taxi ranks that are located in and around Dublin city. Locations include outside train stations, bus stations and around the heart of the city. These taxi men are full licensed and are most likely to provide a service that you deserve.
Always make sure that before getting to a taxi that the driver is displaying passenger information such as right, responsibilities and fare information. This display is legally required to all fully licensed drivers and has been issued by the commission for Taxi Regulations. You can find the information on the front and back of the vehicle.
We also suggest that before getting into the Taxi that you ask the driver if he knows the location where you want to do and an approximate cost. If the driver hesitates to answer do not get into the car, find another driver.
All drivers are required to give every customer a printed receipt of the fare. Information on the receipt will include details such as the drivers license number, distance of the fare, date & duration of the fare and the amount paid.
If you have been treated unfairly by ANY Taxi driver or firm and need to make an complaint please use the Commission for Taxi regulator, details are:
