You'll receive a fare estimate, route preview, and ETA of the nearest available driver. When you're ready to hail, tap "REQUEST RIDE" at the bottom of the screen to be matched with a driver. When the ride is over, the fare is paid automatically with the card on file or another payment method of your choosing.

From the home screen, tap “I'M ALREADY IN A TAXI”, then enter the 7-digit check-in code displayed at the top of the taxi’s screen to pair the taximeter with your ARRO account. At the end of your trip, your fare will be paid automatically and your receipt will be emailed to you!

At the end of your trip, your fare will be paid automatically and your receipt will be emailed to you!

Ratings and reviews

IT WORKS AGAIN! In my opinion, this is the best taxi app because it's free and it works. However, I was not able to use the app for over a year because I got a "sorry, there was a problem" error message every time I opened it. Rather than telling me to re-enter my credit card info, the app just kept giving this default error message. Tech support couldn't figure it out either. I would have used Arro dozens more times if it had worked. A lot of reviews are negative because of this exact problem. Seems like it would be an easy fix.

The GO-TO app to get in and out of your cab. I have used the mostly to pay for a ride once I am in a cab, but also to hail a cab especially when going to the airport early morning. Works great. Setup is like everything else these days. From there on it is seamless. The aspect I find most attractive for both rider and driver is once in the cab, you can pair with the cab and select the tip amount thereby circumventing the timely payment process at the end. You can jump and and go.

I had the app for a couple years. I haven't used it in a while because I wasn't taking many taxis. I tried to sign in, forgot password so I used the option to change it. I received the confirmation number and entered it, the app gives me an error but goes to the next page to update password. I enter the new password but it freezes, every time I do this. I never was able to sign in again so I removed the app and will use Curb app when I can now. App needs an upgrade. It just doesn't work.
