Mobile applications that help consumers easily locate nearby taxis and
choose the best available taxi, based on the feedback that previous
passengers have given, are thriving in Greece during the crisis.

Taxibeat <https://taxibeat.com/> is the pioneer mobile application that
completely altered the way we hail a taxi! For the first time, instead of
flagging down a stranger, one could get a trusted taxi driver, rated by
other Taxibeat users. And above all, at no extra cost.

Taxiplon  <http://www.taxiplon.com/gr/en/>is another Greek taxi services
application. Its software constitutes a world innovation and was selected
candidate for better application for smart phones at World Mobile Congress
in 2012. Athens Welcome Pickups <http://www.welcomepickups.com/> is more
than a taxi application; it is a travel service for tourists visiting
Greece. Local drivers –who are laymen - pick up visitors at the Athens
International Airport and for a flat rate, take them to their hotel, as
well as a tour in Athens.

Apart for from mobile applications for taxi services there are companies
that, upon demand, provide high quality services, English speaking drivers,
spotless and comfortable cars and round the clock services. Among them Athens
Taxi Driver <http://www.athens-taxi-driver.gr/en/> provides guided tours

technological services on the go: Internet, Wi-Fi system, Skype in
preselected vehicles. V.I.P. Taxi
