How far in advance can I pre-book a taxi?
You can pre-book a Dublin taxi hours, days, or even weeks in advance. There's no maximum lead time. For business travel, you can schedule recurring pickups. For visitors, you can book your airport pickup before you arrive in Ireland.
Can I pay by card or cash?
Both. You can add a card to the app for cashless payment, or pay the driver directly in cash at the end of your journey. Every licensed Dublin taxi is legally required to accept card payment, so you never need to worry about carrying cash.
Are CaminoCabs drivers licensed?
Yes. Every CaminoCabs driver holds a valid SPSV (Small Public Service Vehicle) licence from the National Transport Authority, full Garda vetting, and commercial insurance. All vehicles are metered, inspected annually, and fully compliant with Irish taxi regulations.
Can I book a taxi for a group of 6–8 people?
Yes. Select Taxi XL in the CaminoCabs app and choose the number of passengers (up to 8). A larger vehicle will be matched automatically. Tariff 3 applies for vehicles carrying 8 or more passengers, as per NTA regulations.
Can I book a wheelchair accessible taxi in Dublin?
Yes. When booking in the CaminoCabs app, select the wheelchair accessible option to be matched with a WAV (Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle). There is no extra charge for wheelchair access. All WAV drivers hold specialist licences and their vehicles meet NTA accessibility standards.
Can I cancel my Dublin taxi booking?
Yes. You can cancel a pre-booked taxi through the CaminoCabs app or by replying to your WhatsApp booking confirmation. Cancelling well in advance is free. Cancellations made very close to the pickup time may be subject to a small fee.
Does CaminoCabs use surge pricing?
No. CaminoCabs never uses surge pricing. All fares are calculated using Ireland's regulated national taxi tariffs set by the National Transport Authority. The fare for the same route is identical on a quiet weekday morning and on New Year's Eve.
