Tourist Taxi: order a taxi without language problems.
A single message on WhatsApp or Viber, automatically translated, and the price is fixed before you get in. Here is how it works.
By Patryk Awierianow ·
With the Tourist Taxi you send a single message on WhatsApp or Viber with location, destination and a price request. It is translated automatically, the taxi company replies as usual, and the reply comes back translated, with a fixed price and waiting time. You only confirm the ride once the price suits you.
The problem: language and price
Anyone who needs a taxi in a foreign country knows the worries: will the driver understand me? What will the ride cost? The Tourist Taxi solves both. You write in your language, the app translates, and the price is fixed before you get in.
How the Tourist Taxi works
- 01Enter destination
The pickup point comes from your location. You choose destination, passengers and luggage.
- 02Message is translated
The app writes the request and translates it into Montenegrin, with a map link.
- 03Via WhatsApp or Viber
The message goes straight to the taxi company, without a new app on their side.
- 04Price comes back translated
The reply appears in your language, with a fixed price and waiting time.
- 05Ride confirmed
Only when the price suits you do you confirm. No surprises.
Everything visitors need
Pickup point, destination, passengers, luggage and location in a single message.
Your message arrives in the taxi company’s language, the reply in yours.
The taxi company needs no new app and replies as usual.
The exact pickup point goes along as a map link. No spelling out an address.
Ask for the price from A to B and only then confirm.
With flight number and name sign, the driver waits at the exit.
Plan rides for later and book the return trip straight away.
Specify child seat, luggage and pet, share the ride with family.
Ready-made phrases like “I am waiting in front of the hotel”, instantly translated into Montenegrin.
The translation and the exchange with the taxi company run through links called interfaces. For visitors it is multilingual and simple: they do not have to explain anything.
