How to ride a Taxi in Hawaii Than Concord, Pleasant Hill

Taxi Hawaii and Contra Costa County

If you live in Japan, and then want to go to America, you need to check a transportation issue like taxi or yellow cab. Sometime they have a different common, like tip etc. If you live in small city like Concord, california. Or Pleasant Hill or Orinda, its the same thing. This time, I will explain how to ride a "Taxi" and another foot. Even the taxi colour is not yellow, American always call them yellow cab.
Is a vehicle of "120% degree of chatter" taxi for beginners. Many unscrupulous taxi, in a foreign country is a good place to hear the story that was in such sore eyes.
On the other hand, in order to go in a place such as a bus or trolley does not go, taxis are a wider range of action. Of course, I will be even possible to go to the shops and restaurants off the beaten path.
So, this time, we will explain how to take a taxi is not scared novice Hawaii.

First, as a prerequisite, but is not supported cruising taxi in Hawaii should call a taxi in the "cell phone service" one novice Hawaii. Therefore, in order to take a taxi, there is only "call a taxi" or "taxi rank".
And taxi rank are limited to large shopping centers and hotels.
If you do not have, just call a taxi. However, unless you're fluent in English, it is impossible for me to talk on the phone call to the taxi company.
Therefore, the safe not scared as planning is to call a taxi in the "mobile phone service tour company." If this, then you can talk in Japanese, because the taxi cab company has partnered with leading travel agency comes the possibility to meet the taxi rip-off and it is low.

Second, Japanese taxi cab is not a automatic door automatic door so that guests do the opening and closing of the door (which is angry and messing around in reverse.) No.
However, in the (foreign or rather most) Hawaii is not something automatic door taxi. Thus, the "opening and closing of the door is done by myself," there is a need.
However, for example, if you want to ride at the hotel, you may have me opening and closing hoteliers. However, please think "exceptions" this.

Calmly took a taxi and told the three destination with a map in hand, please tell your destination. In that case, you may want to look like a "do not know such a place." If so, please show the map as soon as possible. I'm okay with it.
That said, if the famous shops and restaurants, such as the guide book has come out, even if there is no map leads you roughly. However, in the case of chain stores, beware because there is more than one shop of the same name. If you like this, people who have a combination of map still it should be safe.
After that, I will wait to arrive at your destination relaxed. Exactly, I may may relax and enjoy the scenery.

Fourth,  fee to pay when you get out of the taxi that will also provide bill will then be in the bill, including tip Harao. This is the same as the Japanese taxi. However, we will add a tip of about 15% sure to meter rate. However, it takes time and effort unlike the case of the former restaurant, and you can suddenly pounding calculator when you get off.
So it is that the "pay bill only" as a method of payment of a fee is not scared. In other words I have to do is chip plus a degree called "? Such or roughly 15 percent." For example, if the price of a taxi was $ 11 and it was 30 cents, I am be and pass the bill in that amount as $ 13 including tip. And it is sufficient if it says something like "chip include" when passing.
When Incidentally, if you want a Otsuri is cumbersome and Choi. Therefore, when you take a taxi, put your wallet number one by $ 1 bill, $ 5 bill, a $ 10 bill in advance, I'll keep to be able to support the payment of a certain amount of money. According to the guide book who called separately from the good, taxi back.

Five, speaking if you go by taxi to a restaurant for example, you want to come to meet even the way back, like "come back after 2 hours" towards the Driver It has been described as such good.
Indeed, there is a confidence in English, it may be okay with it if you are familiar and travel.
However, those who said in a state of full, "and come back to pick more" just take a taxi full of consultation it is unreasonable. Also, if you or saying after 2 hours, has become such a state does not end even in 2 hours or reversed if the meal was over in an hour, for example, I will not take just acquisition.
Therefore, the return taxi is easy obediently "call again" is better.
How to call, the mobile phone is safe, but at the beginning, if you are in a decent restaurant, you may want to ask the store clerk. If a decent shop, considered a store credit, very strange because it does not call a taxi.
I is sufficient glue called "call when needed" anyway.

Sixth, natural courtesy taxi drivers are many and varied remember. I'm different, etc., etc. If you have a driver who speaks in silence, those who have a lot to talk speak broken Japanese, as a matter of course in English will not only speak English.
Responding to Japan as well as taxi drivers, will protect manners after minimal. For example, if the driver has been speaking in broken Japanese hard, I'll respond to it.
Also, about "Thank You mahalo" when getting off the would say. This is also the minimum is courtesy of.

That is all. Basically not much different from the Japanese Guidelines taxi ride. And taking advantage of the benefits of good travel agency, even if you have a master Notes on payment, then, you'll get used to passing taxi in order to call a taxi for you not scared.
