Euro Taxi is an app that lets you book a cab (taxi) in more than 70 cities across Europe. The focus of the app is pre-booking a cab, at a fixed cost, in advance of a journey (e.g. going to the airport), rather than the real-time service provided by services such as Wheely and Hailo. Once you've specified at start and end point for a journey Euro Taxi will calculate the route and provide multiple booking options (taxi, executive car, minibus) with clear pricing information.

The Euro Taxi app, which has been created by London based mobile apps company IOLogics, is built on top of Cab Force's Taxi API. The Cab Force API is a brokerage system for booking cabs around the world, able to draw on a fleet of 10,000+ vehicles from multiple taxi companies. 

Euro Taxi allows you to book a journey up to several months ahead of time. Once booked it is possible to cancel a journey up until 2 hours before the pickup time, with no charges, and no questions asked.

Euro Taxi says that if you use the app you'll save an average of 13% on airport transfers. Because of this, and the fact that travellers will be met at an agreed point (e.g. arrivals hall) with a board showing the name of the the passenger, it is journey from and to transport hubs that are arguably the strongest element of the Euro Taxi service (essentially providing a limo like service, at a cost similar to that of a standard cab).

Hammad Tariq, CEO of IOLogics Ltd, said:

"This pre-booking of taxis not only eliminates the hidden expenses that can occur but they also ensure on-time pickup and transfers. The user of this app will always be sure that a ride is waiting for him to take him to his destination. The app is particularly useful for solo female travelers as there is always an issue of safety and we ensure that in collaboration with our taxi provider partner, Cabforce, passengers always have a 24/7support center number to call on even if anything goes wrong."
