Free e-hailing app for Android
Hailo joined forces with mytaxi in 2016 to form FREENOW as the leading taxi booking app in the UK and Ireland. It has since grown to operate in 9 countries and almost 100 cities in Europe. FREENOW mytaxi is available as a free download. Good alternatives include Uber and Bolt.
This e-hailing app lets you book a ride in advance without worrying about cash or a payment card present with you. Just enter your destination, book a driver from the ones available nearby, track the taxi's arrival and pay through the app when you arrive at your destination.
