Oct 01, 2008 - If you plan to travel within the US and need to grab a cab from one location to another, you can use your phone (with internet access, naturally) to book yourself a taxi, sedan, limo, or shuttle service with RideCharge.<br /><br />You simply enter the date and time you need to be picked up. Then specify your pick-up spot, the destination, and how many passengers there will be. When it searches, it will tell you which services are available to you. For instance, I asked to be piked up at JFK airport in New York City, and dropped off at Times Square. The best deal was the Corporate Sedan by NY One for $59. Two other services would have charged me $73, and the SuperShuttle was unavailable to me as they don’t pick up at that airport.<br /><br />When you make your selection, you can give specific instructions, such as saying that you’ll be waiting on the South side of the street, and if you’re being picked up at the airport, you can specify what airline and flight you’re on so the service will know if your flight is delayed and (hopefully) wait for you.<br /><br />The best part is that you can pay with your mobile device at the end of the ride, and receive an e-receipt in exchange, which is handy if you’re traveling on business and need to keep track of your expenses.<br /><br />The whole thing sounds really cool. I would love to hear from anyone who has actually used RideCharge to get some thoughts on how it plays out in reality.<br /><br />See the original article by Sherry at <a href="http://www.geekytraveller.com/order-your-cab-ride-online-at-ridecharge/">www.geekytraveller.com</a>
