Before booking the cab ensure that the correct amount of passengers is noted and the correct type of cab has been chosen. Cabs come in many different shapes and sizes and calling out the wrong cab will result in delays and possibly even extra charges.

It is advisable to choose a company that has a good reputation and that has been used before. If traveling alone it is a good idea to tell a friend which cab company has been booked and any journey details. Also keep a note of the phone number and cab name for future reference.

If all the necessary precautions have been taken then a little idle conversation will cause no harm. However, flirting or annoying the driver is not advisable.

When using a cab service Columbia SC passengers may wish to suggest a preferred route to shorten the journey time and save costs. It's important to be alert and conscious of everything that is happening. The cab driver may be nice and friendly but he is still a stranger and is therefore dangerous.
