Tips

  • Planning on traveling soon? Whether your trip is big or small, it is always important to know what expenses you should expect to pay throughout your journey – from hotel fees to transportation costs to meal bills. It is easy to estimate total costs for transportation like airplanes, trains, and buses, but more difficult to plan for taxi fares when exploring an unknown place. If a driver knows you are a tourist and unfamiliar with the city, sometimes they will take a longer or more expensive route; have the print out of the estimated fare with you so that you are in control of the route driven.
  • Know that you'll be taking a cab home at the end of the night? When you're going out for the night, it is usually a good idea to have a general amount in your mind about how much money you will spend and need to bring. Taking nightly activities, food, and drink into account, often the taxi ride home at the very end of the night is overlooked. However, when public transportation closes or you are unable to drive, a taxi is necessary – but it is essential to have enough money, often enough cash, to pay the driver completely. Look at the estimated fare ahead of time so you and your friends know what to expect to pay at the end of the night.
  • Going on a business trip? Often companies require an estimation of expenses when employees travel for business purposes. This is generally so that funds can be allotted ahead of time or so honesty is maintained. Print out the fare estimation to give to your company for estimated funds needed on your tip.
