This taxi booking app is heaven
Some things you just have to allow yourself
I'm sorry, but I'm not really a public transport type. Waiting at a drafty station, just missing your connection and then all rushing to another platform... Not my idea of ideal travel. Moreover, there are also places that are not easily reachable by public transport.
Then the new taxi booking app DEXTR is ideal. They connect you with local taxi companies that are happy to take you to those slightly further addresses than just a short ride to your local pub. They are not too reluctant about it, you know. But if you're going to have a nice meal at your study friend's place who has moved to a village outside Utrecht, then DEXTR is your app. You can book from 30 minutes before departure depending on where you are, but the earlier you book, the better. Let the anticipation begin for you too.
And, did I mention that the cars nowadays all have air conditioning, heating, and soft seats? Pleasant travel, I would say.
Maybe one more point to push you over the edge to allow yourself this; it is much safer than walking alone over an empty station at night.
No driver's license, no car?
So many people I know who live in the city don't have a driver's license or at least don't have a car. They are expensive, parking is difficult and costly, and sometimes there are even waiting lists for permits. With the money you save monthly, you can easily treat yourself to a taxi every now and then. Just a stress-free, cold, waiting time-free trip to that appointment, that amusement park, or to your parents. It's also safe, you can go with multiple people and share the costs, your hair stays nice (the rainy season is coming), so there are a hundred reasons to take that taxi for something other than just going to that restaurant or café. Order one when you go to the zoo, the theater, to Schiphol (how wonderful to step out with your luggage right at the door) or to an important business meeting. No stress about finding a parking space and plenty of comfort, ideal.
When booking your taxi, you immediately see what the ride costs and you also settle the payment. This way, you won't be faced with unpleasant surprises.
I feel a slogan coming up; Dextr, it makes life a lot more relaxed.
