For those times when you never know when you’re going to need a Taxi Cab in Minneapolis, you no longer have to keep the phone number for every taxi cab company in your phone. Just use iHail instead. It’s an app for your iPhone or Android phone that finds the closest taxi cab, books the taxi for you, and then gives you live updates on the cab’s location. It then sends a notification to your phone when the cab is only a few minutes away, so you don’t have to waste time standing by the door watching for your ride.
Using GPS, iHail maps your current location and finds the Taxi Cab in Minneapolis that is closest to you right now. Then, it easily and quickly lets you book a taxi anywhere in the Twin Cities area. Use it when you land at the Minneapolis St. Paul airport. Use it to get around downtown so you don’t have to worry about parking. Use it when you need a ride from the suburbs to the MSP airport. Use it if you’re going to the Mall of America and want curb service instead of parking far away and having a log walk at night. Use it when you have a doctor’s appointment and won’t be able to drive yourself home afterward. Use it to get a ride to sports games, concerts in the park, and any time when you don’t want to have to walk a long way from a paid parking lot to the venue.
The app has been partnered with three of the biggest taxi cab services in the Twin Cities area: Airport Taxi, Town Taxi, and Yellow Cab. Their fleets are among the largest in town. All their cars have more than the state-required amount of just adequate insurance. These are also the only cab companies in the area that have a safety manager certified by the National Safety Council whose full-time job is ensuring the safety of the fleet and conducting mandatory defensive driving courses for each employee before they can be hired. They’re clean, they’re safe, and they’re on time. You don’t need to fumble for a pen and write anything down. You do it all right from the phone. The iHail app is available from iTunes and from Google Play.
