8 things to check before booking an airport taxi
Taxis are a great way to get around quickly and efficiently to your destination, especially in crowded cities such as Brussels or London. On the other hand, booking a taxi in advance is way better as it gives you less to worry about and more time on your hands to prepare other things.
Taxis are also, in terms of convenience and safety, a nice alternative to other common and shared ways of transportation. So taxis indeed have a lot of advantages in comparison to other means of transportation.

Besides, planning your trips will help make you comfortable organizing and traveling, no matter what your destination might be. You simply have all the things usually needed, you know about your itinerary and you don’t have to worry about prices changing or your cab not arriving on time.
