]]> It’s true—many international locations you travel to probably have Uber and it makes traveling abroad very convenient. But it can’t hurt to be prepared. Here are a few tips to make your transportation abroad as smooth as possible. 

Research Local Taxi Customs and Rates

Find out the going rates for taxis, including any base fare and the cost per kilometer or mile. Some cities have fixed rates for certain routes, such as from the airport to the city center. Also, look into things like tipping etiquette and reputable companies. 

Use Technology

When available, apps like Uber, Lyft, Grab, or local equivalents can be invaluable while traveling. They offer the convenience of booking a ride through your smartphone, often with a predetermined fare, which can minimize the risk of being overcharged. Plus, the transaction is cashless, which is handy if you’re still getting used to the local currency. 

You may also want to look into whether your destination has a local version of a taxi app. 

Follow Along

You can keep a GPS or map app running during your taxi ride to ensure you’re taking the most direct route to your destination. This can help avoid unnecessary detours and the anxiety of not knowing where you are.

]]> As we slowly — very slowly! — return to the new normal in the Age of COVID-19, there are a few guidelines we all need to follow in order to ensure we keep ourselves and others safe. And as car travel, specifically Uber, is quickly becoming a preferred mode of transportation amid the pandemic, here are some basic measures we all should follow:

1. Wear a face mask

Uber recently introduced a new known as “No Mask, No Ride,” which requires both drivers all riders to wear masks during the trip. In addition, riders now have grounds to cancel a trip if their Uber driver isn’t wearing one.

2. Wash your hands

Yep, as easy as that. According to experts, regular hand-washing for at least 20 seconds is one of the best ways of stopping the spread of coronavirus. According to Uber, in order to practice responsible hygiene, wash your hands before and after every trip. This way, you avoid bringing germs into an Uber and taking them with you afterward.

3. Open a window

The CDC recommends you open your windows – at home and more importantly when traveling – in order to increase ventilation.

These three simple steps will insure we go about our day to day activities, as responsibly as possible.

]]> Visiting a new city and not sure how to hail a taxi in the street? Here are some tips that would make it easier.

Belfast, Ireland

Going for a night out in the Northern Irish capital? Keep this in mind: you cannot hail a taxi in Belfast. To find a taxi, either get a phone number for a taxi operator or walk over to one of the taxi stations, where a public phone is available to call a cab.

Tokyo Japan

In a city that’s not cheap, a taxi might not be the first choice, but if you decide to go for it, find a taxi queue near any famous site, and pick a taxi with a green license plate. They are vacant if their dashboard sign is red. Confusing, right? Welcome to Tokyo!

Lagos, Nigeria

Lagos is a hectic city, and it might be confusing to decide how to get about it. If you decide to hail a taxi, it’s good to remember a few things: avoid getting stuck on the side of the road; try to pick a newer-looking vehicle; always agree on the price in advance after a short negotiation, including who pays any tolls that might happen on the way.

]]> Getting to Manhattan from John F. Kennedy International Airport, located about 15 miles away from each other, might seem like a task. However, with just a little bit of know-how, you’ll be able to navigate your way from the airport to the heart of the city with little trouble.

Use these tips to get from JFK to Manhattan with no stress.

Use the AirTrain to Connect to….

The LIRR

The Long Island Railroad is a great option for getting to Manhattan comfortably and quickly. All you have to take is the airport’s subway, the AirTrain, to Jamaica Station and then buy a ticket from Jamaica to Penn Station in the heart of Manhattan. This will cost you $12 total and generally take about an hour.

The NYC Subway

Are you looking for a cheaper mass transit option from JFK to Manhattan? The NYC Subway will get you from the JFK Station, a free ride on the AirTrain, to the island of Manhattan using the A-line. This will only cost you $3 dollars, but it usually takes about 30 minutes longer and isn’t as comfortable as the LIRR option.

Go in Car

Are you weighed down with baggage or just not in the mood to deal with public transportation? You can take one of New York City’s famous Yellow Cabs or an Uber to Manhattan directly from the airport. The cost will definitely be higher, and it might take a while depending on traffic, but this is the most comfortable option.

YELLOW CABS | NYC | I was speaking to a friend recently who grew up here and he mentioned the drastic decline in yellow cabs. He said 10 years ago the majority of cars you see were yellow cabs vs. today where they are just sprinkled in. • I do like seeing the yellow cabs on the streets and hope they will survive, but the user experience is poor in comparison to Uber so it may be tough over time. • Pablos Tip: If a cab rolls down the window and asks you where you are going do not tell them until you are inside the car (this doesn’t happen often but it does happen). It is illegal for them to ask and they are just trying to see if it fits in where they want to take you. • Tag someone who is traveling to NYC soon and can use this tip!
