It's never been easier to get where you want to go. If you find yourself logging into Hailo to book a taxi, then logging into Google Maps to find out where you're going, then you are going to love the fact that the middle man has now been eliminated. An update this week sees Hailo's partnership with Google Global Ride Service come into effect, which means Hailo will now come up as a transport option to get to your destination, if you have the app installed separately. The best part? You even get an estimated price before you call your taxi. The new feature has been rolled out on Android in the UK and Spain today and arrives on iOS next week with more cities and countries to be added in the coming weeks. Andrew Pinnington, CEO of Hailo said, “Google Maps helps millions of people navigate their way around the world’s cities. Now with the addition of Hailo to the ride services tab, in both the UK and Spain, there are even more ways to book one of the iconic black cabs of London to get customers reliably, safely and quickly to their destination. Becoming a Google Global Ride Service Partner recognises the key role licensed taxis perform as part of a city’s transport infrastructure.” Remember the days when we used to stick out our hands on the street... pah!
