While a cab driver must provide you with excellent transportation services, you also have some duties towards the cab driver. Do you know that your attitude and behavior can determine the kind of service you get?
Here’s what you shouldn’t do when traveling in a cab.
1. Backseat driving
Sure, you’re a great driver, but you shouldn’t instruct your cab driver while sitting in the back seat. It can throw the driver off, and cause them to lose concentration, and it’s annoying!
You hired a professional cab service, so you can sit back and relax, while they do their job. It’s okay to inform them you’re in a hurry and request them once to speed up so that you can arrive at your destination on time.
2. Noncooperative behavior
If you are traveling with a lot of luggage, try to cooperate and pick some luggage yourself. Avoid being unnecessarily rude to them or blame them for things that are not in their control – for example, unprecedented traffic jams.
3. Asking to break the law
It doesn’t matter how quickly you want to reach the airport. You should never force the driver to break the law. It’s better that you schedule the cab for an earlier time instead of asking the driver to break a red light. Sure, you can ask the driver to speed up. You can also ask the driver to take a shorter route if possible.
4. Bargaining
Most cab services have fixed rates and you should respect that instead of haggling for a better price. It will waste your time and it’s disrespectful for the driver because there’s nothing they can do about it either. If the driver picked up the luggage, you should also tip them as a nice gesture.
