Hi Guys,

Hope all goes well for you all out there in the magic Kingdom. I am now working in Riyadh and have been using taxi's to get to and from work. Don't fancy driving myself as they drive on the wrong side of the road, and like nutters. Anyhow does anyone know of a reliable service that can release me from the toil of explaining twice a day where I'm going and how to get there (yep I find most taxi drivers have no idea how to get anywhere and will take you on a tour if let)

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Have a look at this thread: https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.p … 224#845328

Also, as you move around in taxies, opening discussion with taxi drivers for regular service is a good idea. They'll welcome it and you'll be able to cut down expenses by 50% approx.
