  I made use of this promotion in Feb/March this year. It took almost 60 days for the 1,000 bonus Avios to post to my account

  is there a minimum fee applied with hailo? I tried last night to get a very short trip, to get the promotion, and it was quoting a min of £10 for every trip, no matter how short, which seems excessive?

    Hmmm …. Gett has no minimum, we use it regularly to school when it is raining, or I take it to the tube.

    +1 on the £10 minimum coming up. I just tested a journey to take me to my next door neighbour and it says the estimate is £10. However, this is only an estimate, so I suspect it’s a system thing with Hailo that they don’t accurately predict very short journeys. I’m going to try it tonight for a very short trip back from the cinema to see what happens.

    Thanks for the link. So it seems there is no min fare between mon- fri 10am-5pm…
    Ironic how the min £10 the rest of thw times is there “to increase your chances of getting a taxi” lol

      There is some logic because, when a driver accepts your job, he still has to get to you. He isn’t being paid for that time. Hailo clearly assumes drivers need an incentive to turn their light off and lose 5 minutes getting to you at peak times.

  I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but I went to the MyTaxi web site and couldn’t find any information about countries (or cities!) in which they operate. I did establish that there’s a MyTaxi site for Italy so I downloaded the app to my phone thinking it would be useful whilst on a short stopover in Pisa this weekend (prior to catching Qatar flights to BKK as a result of an HFP alert to great business class fares as usual!!).

  However, when trying to see if a car could be ordered from the airport into the city it seems that MyTaxi doesn’t operate in Pisa.

  My thoughts here are that Uber make it very clear on their site what countries/cities they cover and I feel that MyTaxi are missing something here!!

  I used the app in March and I had to write and complain to BA before the Avios were added. But I finally got them on 25 July.

  I wasn’t actually sure that I would get them as the trip was taken in Manchester, not London, so I am quite happy
