Years go by and passengers keep asking the same questions and holding the same doubts. To a certain extent, there is still a general lack of understanding about the taxi service.

There is plenty of information out there, but it is scattered and not always easy to find or navigate.

My purpose

Driven solely by the desire to help bring the taxi world closer to everyday citizens, I decided to launch this project called InfoTaxi Alicante. It aims to answer the questions I have gathered over time, as well as new ones that will undoubtedly arise.

The goal was to build a clean, user-friendly website offering high-quality information all in one place.

The portal is designed as a living space that will evolve over time: it includes a communication channel with the editor, as well as a section called Get involved, where you can start the process to submit guest articles—provided they offer value to the reader and stay focused on the central theme: taxis in Alicante and its Joint Service Area.

Behind this project is someone who has been working in the taxi industry for over twenty years. Naturally, I don’t know everything, but grounded in current regulations, I hope to answer recurring questions.

This portal does not represent any taxi company, association, or dispatch center; it is educational and independent. Therefore, it is not possible to book or hire a taxi service through this website.

What will you find in InfoTaxi Alicante?

What visitors can find includes:

  • An interactive map to locate taxi ranks across Alicante’s Joint Service Area.
  • A fare estimator for trips heading outside the local area.
  • A download section for official documents and regulations.
  • The crown jewel: the blog.

All of this comes with its corresponding English version, so international visitors feel right at home.

When I told some colleagues about the project, a few asked, “Why bother putting yourself through all this trouble?” And they have a point—I was living very comfortably in anonymity without putting myself out there. However, I believe initiatives like this are truly healthy and worthwhile, as the Alicante taxi sector deserves its own dedicated space. On the other hand, other colleagues welcomed the idea enthusiastically and promised to contribute articles on topics within their expertise. They are most welcome!

InfoTaxi Alicante will be in continuous growth, starting with contributions from the editor. For anyone interested, you can propose your participation by following the workflow outlined in the Get involved section. Additionally, in the Contact tab, you’ll find an email address to reach out directly.

Without further ado, flag down, meter on… let the journey begin!
