About Us
Online Taxicab Service otherwise known as OTS is an online taxicab reservation service business concern. We spare our customers the trouble of having to call the taxicab companies themselves. Hence, the slogan “You Request it, We Reserve It.” Online TaxiCab Service is not responsible for the actual transportation of her customers. We only make the arrangements.
How it Works
You request for a taxicab service on our website. You will be provided with the convenience of choosing a taxicab company from a list of the top taxicab companies in the Metro Area of your interest. In the event that you have no preference with regards to the taxicab companies indicated, you will have the option to choose “Other” In the event that you choose “Other” as your preferred taxicab service provider, we reserves the right to choose a taxicab company to provide you with the required service. If for any reason, the taxicab company of your choice is not able to provide you with the required service at the time of your request, we at OTS will, without having to seek your approval, choose another taxicab company we believe is in the position to best serve your interest. As soon as we receive your taxicab service reservation order, we will send you the first confirmation email in return, acknowledging your order. We will call the taxicab company of your choice to register your taxicab service request with them. As soon as we finish registering your taxicab service request with the taxicab company of your choice, we will send you the second and final confirmation email, confirming your order. Your credit card will be charged as soon as your taxicab service request has been forwarded to the taxicab company of your choice.
