Sometimes a taxi call turns into a real problem. The driver is looking for a client, the dispatcher is nervous, and the client cannot understand where his car is.

Better expensive but tidy. In case of an urgent trip, only contact a trusted taxi service. It is possible to run in a test trip or check the services of the service whose business card was thrown in the mailbox in a more relaxed time. In the event of an emergency, accident or city holiday, the waiting time of the car is delayed for thirty to fifty minutes. Many services have a taxi call service at a specific time or "taxi reservation". If an important trip is planned in the evening, then it is better to book a taxi in the morning, and in the afternoon call and check if the dispatcher has lost the order. Is it possible.

Dispatchers work in constant noise, are distracted by a million stimuli, drivers' radios are not always well caught. This is why it is important to literally spell the address. If the house number implies a two-digit or three-digit number, then they need to be dictated a little slower and louder, and one at a time. Do not be embarrassed by the nervousness or even the rudeness of the dispatcher. His nervous system is not your problem. And if you have an important meeting, the taxi service will not compensate you for possible losses and even less moral harm.

Courtesy and perseverance. If the car does not arrive for a long time, you should not bother an innocent dispatcher girl, and even more so, draw connections and status in front of her. This is silly. It’s better to politely start the conversation with how many minutes you are already waiting. And ask: "Does it make sense to wait longer?". Unnerving the driver is more expensive. After all, this person will carry you. And your life depends on his emotional state, reaction. Especially on a problematic track.

Do not get blacklisted. Some particularly funny customers call two or three taxi services at the same time and wait for a car to arrive faster. It must be remembered that taxi bases usually roam from one service to another. And in many cities there are so-called black lists in which jokers are entered. And then they wonder why they are not lucky. And when they call in a taxi, all the cars are busy. Is always.
note
Calling a taxi on the Internet is a fashionable service, but it's better not to rely on technology. And check your orders with your voice so that you don’t rush about along the road, catching private traders.
