Taxi or Uber in Lausanne? The honest comparison

What really differs between the two — and the cases where a local dispatch with prices shown before you book stays unbeatable: the airport, the station, and anything booked ahead.

Uber did everyone a favour by modernising ride ordering — and that is exactly what we offer too: online booking in 30 seconds, driver tracked live on the map, card or TWINT payment. The difference: a price shown before you book, with no surge, a genuinely guaranteed booking and a Lausanne dispatch that answers the phone.

At arrivals, a driver with your name — something an app never does

Zurich Airport: flight landed, driver already there, your name on the tablet

With TAXI 624, your flight is tracked and your driver waits in the arrivals hall, your name on a tablet — in Geneva, Zurich or Basel alike. With a ride-hailing app, you order once you are out, look for the car in the car park, and pay whatever the price is at that moment. Here, the price was fixed before you left.

Frequently asked questions

Is Uber cheaper than a taxi in Lausanne?

Sometimes at quiet hours, but Uber prices climb sharply at peak times (surge pricing). With TAXI 624, the displayed price is fixed, at any hour — you know before you confirm.

Can you reliably book an Uber in advance?

An Uber request goes out at the chosen time, with no guarantee a driver accepts. With us, a scheduled booking commits a driver to you: the taxi is guaranteed at the agreed time.

Are TAXI 624 drivers professionals?

Yes: professional drivers licensed for the Lausanne region, inspected vehicles, and a PDF receipt at the end of the ride.
