Hi everyone,

I'm new to Riyadh. I have a flight early in the morning but don't know any reliable taxi numbers. Can anyone forward me the number of a taxi company that will definitely pick me up on time and drop me to the airport?

Thanks,

Thanks everyone. However, I'm completely unfamiliar with uber and other apps - will these allow me to book a taxi in advance? I would rather avoid having to wake up early to find a taxi on one of these apps that's willing to take me. Plus, I'm on the DQ and so am a little bit out of the way. A telephone number that I can call and book a taxi in advance would be the best option for me at the moment - can anyone help with that?

Uber is good. It is a very simple app. Efficient and on time. And very good rates/ Wont charge illegally.

Can you book in advance with Uber, or only Careem?

Do you have to pay for Uber with a credit card? Is it not possible to pay in cash? It's asking me to sign up with a credit card.

Uber is now trying cash payments.
It may soon be common, but now they have selective invitation based cash payments.
Don't u have a credit card. If so it's very easy and safe.
