TAXI DRIVER JOB GUIDES & TIPS



How do I work as a Taxi Driver?

You just need to take the job from the locations (I'll state them below with screenshots), You can also do it with your own Taxi/Cabbie even if you have another job by pressing N. It automatically changes your job to the taxi driver. Peds are in Los Santos and San Fierro, you can't find them out of the city. You can also pick online players up and earn money.

There are 4 different blips on the map that you need to know.

- Deliver passengers within the city route whether it's San Fierro or Los Santos passenger, marked as a green icon on your radar.
- Intercity passengers (blue icon) which are long journeys (in-short you deliver passengers from a city to another(San Fierro to Los Santos and vice-versa)
- VIP passengers which have a red ped blip on the map; if you deliver them within 70 seconds, you'll get paid 200% of the main price.
- This is the destination that you must drop your peds at.

You'll be paid each time you bring peds to the locations; The payment depends on distance and level, each time you level up; you will earn more cash.

You can take taxi driver job from

Doherty, San Fierro
Verona Beach, Los Santos

You can also mark the job locations via GPS (Press T > /gps > Taxi Driver)

You need to enter the buildings and enter into the yellow-orange marker(s) in order to take the job.

You can use Taxi, Cabbie, and Taxi S with this job; you can spawn Taxi, taxi S and Cabbie from huge yellow-orange marker(s) which is located next to the buildings.

Taxi Driver Levels: You can earn more money (still depends on distance) when you level up. Once you are L10, you can use /go taxi driver and take the job without going to the job location. When you leveled up to L10, you also earn $1,000,000 extra cash by achieving an achievement (Crazy Taxi).

You can see your levels and these requirements by pressing F3.

Levels and their requirements:

L0 - $0 Earnings - Training
L1 - $178,500 Earnings - Junior Driver
L2 - $535,500 Earnings - Trained Driver
L3 - $1,249,500 Earnings - Senior Driver
L4 - $2,320,500 Earnings - Specialist Taxist
L5 - $3,748,500 Earnings - Professional
L6 - $5,533,500 Earnings - Tourist Manager
L7 - $7,675,500 Earnings - First Class Driver
L8 - $10,174,500 Earnings - Executive
L9 - $14,050,500 Earnings - Celebrities Class
L10 - $17,850,000 Earnings - President & CEO

Can I transport online players and what will I earn?

You can transport online players and you can earn $500 every 15 seconds so $2000 in a minute and yes, it's $600 if you are VIP. Always communicate with players on team chat, it will make the job more enjoyable and find more online players who need a taxi.



Some tips from me; always bring your jerry cans and repair kits with you because it isn't hard to hit somewhere even if you are pro at driving, someone definitely hits you and flips your car.

The taxi drivers will lose money on the fare if they crash into an object, so beware. Increased pay by 50%

*If you press N in a short time after you picked the ped, it directly sets the GPS to the destination.*

Also, you can complete "Basic Fuel Skills" to fill up your tank an extra 20% for free, you can make a profit by doing that.

If you want to drive a fast acceleration car (in narrows streets, it gives you a great advantage to speed up fast) while working as a taxi driver in the city, Taxi S is the best choice for you. Cabbie has the greatest suspension and easier to flip back when flipped and Taxi is the fastest when you need to drive for long-distance.

Lastly, you also need food because you lose hp when you hit somewhere.

You can leave your taxi for 30 seconds when you have a passenger (ped) without losing it, which gives you a chance of repairing/refueling your taxi.

I've a question I don't see the road safety in /courses, Is it removed? Sorry if it's not allowed to ask here.

Tips from server; You can earn 20% more if you complete "Road Safety' from /courses and %30 more when you use your own Cabbie, Taxi or Taxi S.

You are be able to leave your taxi for 30 seconds when you have a passenger (ped) without losing it.

Removed them from the guide since it was outdated and changed 30 seconds to 20 seconds since it is not 30 anymore.

Vehicles:
  • Taxi - Speed: Good Handling: Fair Acceleration: Fair
  • Cabbie - Speed: Fair Handling: Good Acceleration: Fair
  • Taxi S - Speed: Fair Handling: Good Acceleration: Very good
Reccomended Vehicle: Taxi S

Thank you for your additions, I've added their comparison in the tips part so players can choose which one suits them most in different situations.

If you want to drive a fast acceleration car (in narrows streets, it gives you a great advantage to speed up fast) while working as a taxi driver in city, Taxi S is the best choice for you. Cabbie has the greatest suspension and easier to flip back when flipped and Taxi is the fastest when you need to drive for long distance.
