Taxis are one of the safest ways to get home at night. These simple habits make them safer still.
Before you set off
- Book with a licensed firm, not with someone touting for work
- Book your ride home before you go out
- Tell a friend when you're leaving and when you expect to arrive
When the car arrives
- Check the car matches the booking
- Ask the driver who they're picking up, instead of giving your name
- Sit in the back
During the journey
- Share your journey or location with a friend
- Keep your phone charged and with you
- Ask the driver to wait until you're inside
