World Taximeter helps you find out what is a fair taxi fare from point A to point B in 19 cities currently listed on the site. If the city you intend to visit is not on the list, there is a form at the bottom of the homepage for you to make your suggestions to add in cities.

To get the fare you pick a city using the drop down menu, then put your start and end points in the search boxes provided. A short wait and the fare estimate pops up, along with a map of the journey. According to the site the accuracy of the estimated fare "tends to be very high”.

There are also suggestions of popular taxi trips in that city and listing of taxi companies.

You can also download World Taximeter onto your mobile.The mobile version is optimised for smartphones and iphones.

Happy cabbing,
Naked Surfer
