If you’ve ever tried to hail a taxi in an unfamiliar city, or just didn’t know where to find a cab and not get ripped-off, then the Hailo app is right up your alley. After a quick sign-up process, you’re ready to go. Just open the app (iOS & Android) and it shows the closest available taxi. Drivers respond to your request and you can even lock-in the fare, and you can then track the taxi’s progress to your location. You can quickly and safely pay using a registered credit card and add a tip as well.

Hailo is currently operating in Chicago, Boston, Toronto, London , NYC, Dublin and Madrid. Coming cities include Washington D.C., Cork and Barcelona.
