Not quite satisfied with your current taxi-booking app(s)? Hallelujah, we now have the world’s highest-rated taxi booking app at our fingertips. London-based Hailo has just launched in Singapore, making zipping from point A to B easier than ever (especially during peak hours).
Founded by three London taxi drivers and three tech entrepreneurs, this free app is backed by big name investors including Richard Branson (the guy behind Virgin Airlines), so the company definitely know a thing or two about hassle-free travel. Available on both Android and iPhone, “The Taxi Magnet” (Hailo’s other official name) gets you a cab from anywhere you are in just a few taps.
How it works: the simple and sleek app opens with a map showing taxis near your location via GPS, plus an indication of how soon you’ll get one. To hail a cab, all you have to do is to tap “Pick Me Up Here”, set your destination, confirm your payment mode, and a Hailo cab will be on its way!
In a mad rush? The new “Pay with Hailo” feature also means you can bill journeys directly to your Hailo account, letting you hop out at your destination without any delay. Simply register your card details and pay securely through the app itself. Cash transactions are accepted too!
Unlike most taxi apps in the Singapore market, Hailo can be used in 20 cities worldwide. Looks like this one’s a keeper!
