Travel Tips for Lima, Peru - 4 Best Taxi Apps

11/16/2015

4 Comments

 
Travel tips for Lima from an insider can go a long way in making your trip go smoothly. Lima is a big, bustling South American city that can be overwhelming at times, especially for visitors. Navigating the streets and getting from point A to point B can be an adventure all by itself before even reaching your final destination. For those that want to get in the middle of the hustle and bustle, public transport is always an option, whether it's the Metropolitano, the above-ground train or combis and micros.

For travelers who would like to save the adventures for the Inca Trail or the next exotic, culinary delight, we've taken the guess work out of hailing safe taxis in Lima, no Spanish necessary. Check out these four apps to book a cab that's just minutes away:

​Easy Taxi
With Easy Taxi, you can visualize the taxi nearest you, follow their movements and you will be sent the make and model of the car, name of the taxi driver, as well as his picture. Time estimates for arrival are give or take a few minutes.

Payment options: Cash or credit card

Taxi Satelital
The original behind safe taxis in Lima on call. These are your go-to guys who you can count on to show up. During peak hours on weekends they can get a bit swamped, but the service is excellent. Besides a phone app, if you have some Spanish skills, you can also call to order at (1) 355 5555.

​Payment options: Cash

Uber
Uber is the newcomer to Lima's streets. You can expect the same level of service as in your hometown and the convenience of having it all prepaid. This option even tends to be a sol or two cheaper than their rivals.

​Payment options: Credit card

Taxi Beat
One more alternative for the travelers that like to keep their options open. Similar GPS and ordering setup as the competition. 

Payment options: Cash

I have heard a lot about taxi scams in Peru so it's nice to see apps finally starting to catch on. Thanks for the advice.

Are these options still the best o has something better come along since?

Estas opciones siguen siendo las mejores o ha cambiado algo desde entonces?

We're Lucas and Sam, a Peruvian-American couple who have run the top tour in Lima for the past 14 years. It’s no coincidence that the best activities in Lima have to do with Peru’s amazing cuisine. This Kansas City girl and Lima native have lived all over the world in their corporate past lives but they traded in the daily grind for sharing their love of good food, showing off the city’s secrets and meeting awesome people along the way.
