What is WINIcabs?
One app. A community connected. WINIcabs combines Columbus’ taxi fleets under one, easy-to-use app, putting the city’s extensive network of licensed, background-checked drivers at your fingertips.
Before WINIcabs, getting a taxi fast meant trying to find the right phone number for one of the many taxi companies in the area. Now, WINIcabs does the work for you. Through the free app, users input their location and destination, then WINIcabs pulls data from taxi companies across the city to send you the closest professional driver in minutes. With the ability to track your rides, pay with card or cash, and book a ride for now or later, WINIcabs adapts to what you need, when you need it.
What makes WINIcabs a safer transportation option?
Unlike many rideshare services, taxi drivers are required to undergo multiple extensive background checks and fingerprinting on both a city and federal level. Because WINIcabs works with licensed taxi companies who operate under these strict regulations, we’re able to provide some of the safest transportation available.
We’ve also built additional security features into the app. Users have the ability to receive details about their driver before they arrive, track their ride during the trip, and send their route to a friend or family member.
With the WINIcabs Family Accounts, family members can also get notifications when and where a specific rider has been picked up or dropped off. Whether you’re scheduling a ride for an elderly family member or helping the kids get to practice, WINIcabs gives you a safe, trackable and reliable option.
Does WINIcabs allow me to track my ride?
Yes! WINIcabs will share info about your taxi driver in advance, allow you to track your ride during your trip, and give you the option to send your drivers details to a friend or family member.
Can I see how much my ride will cost?
Because WINIcabs houses several taxi companies under one app, we’re able to provide an estimated fare based on your route. When your taxi arrives, you can also chat with your driver to confirm pricing. And added bonus? You’ll never experience surge pricing in the WINIcab app. BULLETIN! WINIcabs CUSTOMERS WILL RECEIVE A 20% DISCOUNT ON ALL RIDES HAILED THROUGH THE APP.
Does WINIcabs use surge pricing?
No more worrying that a $15 ride to the game will mean a $100 ride home. We want your ride to be safe, easy, and convenient — and that means no surge pricing. Ever.
Whether you’re leaving a concert or heading home after New Years Eve, WINIcabs pricing stays consistent and low.
Is WINIcabs wheelchair accessible?
Yes! Unlike many rideshare services, WINIcabs enables users to select wheelchair-accessible taxis through the app. At WINIcabs, we make accessibility a priority, and we believe safe and convenient transportation should never be exclusive.
What are WINIcabs Family Accounts?
Family accounts put parents at ease and kids on the move. WINIcabs Family Accounts allow multiple phones to be registered under one account. These registered users can hail a taxi and pay for their ride via the approved credit card on the main account. The holder of the overarching account then gets a text with driver details, pick up and drop off notifications and journey info every time the account is used.
This gives children, elderly family members and other dependents access to safe, reliable, and trackable transportation — without needing to carry cash or cards.
What is EZYHail?
