How can I pay?

Blue Bubble taxis offer you a variety of payment options. You can pay in advance of your ride, or in the taxi. Before your ride: Pay with credit card over the phone, or using the app. In car: pay with cash, Eftpos/Credit Cards and TaxiCharge. (Please note that Manawatu Combined Taxis are unable to accept TaxiCharge)

Some drivers take personal cheques. Please let the call-taker know you wish to pay by cheque when you place your order, and the taxi assigned to you will accept them.
