5 Safety Tips for Cab Travelling At Night

Traveling by cab has its set of concerns, especially if you're traveling alone at night. Solo travelers have the 'fear of the unknown' during night traveling. Cab service providers like Cab Drive are taking numerous steps to enhance safety during the night. 

However, when applied correctly, there are a few safety tips that may make your cab travel more secure and stress-free. 

Save Emergency Contacts
No one wants a worst-case scenario. However, being prepared for that is great. So, always have local emergency numbers, particularly the police, on speed dial. 

Moreover, you can also have a list of trusted contacts on your phone as emergency contacts. Furthermore, you may also have a paper-based diary where you can have emergency contacts. 

Choose Reliable Cab Service Provider
One of the most critical points in-cab safeties is ensuring that your cab operator and drivers are honest. 

It could be an official taxi or licensed ridesharing service using a known app. Research what official taxis of a city look like and their rates, and try sticking with them as much as possible. Always book from reputed taxi service provider in India.

Say No to the Front Seat 
Sitting in the back seat is often safer, especially for solo travelers. This limits the chances of unwanted advances. It's usually the opportunity that makes the situation vulnerable.

Always Check License Plate before Boarding
Don't miss a glance at the cab’s license plate before entering. This act alone can make your ride safer. Firstly, it leaves you with crucial information should you need to report any event. Secondly, a driver will likely behave better, seeing you being vigilant.

Moreover, if you find any issues or tempering with the number plate, you should report them to the cab service provider. 

Enable GPS Tracking
By logging into Maps through an account to which you and a trusted contact have access, you can easily share your location. Switch on the GPS tracking so that your near and dear ones may know your whereabouts. It's an additional layer of safety.

Always Say You're with Someone
While using a taxi service in India, NEVER let the other person know that, you're alone. Instead, claim that you will meet someone eagerly awaiting you. This will make the driver take you more seriously.

Stay Vigilant During Travel
If you feel that getting into a taxi is always “ME TIME”, it's not true. When traveling alone, pay close attention to the meter and the route the driver takes. Keep your map open to cross-check the directions and immediacy of your destination. Your alertness will not go unnoticed by the driver.
