Say goodbye to taxi scams. Hagglestar is the very first app that helps travelers avoid taxi scams. The app shows you the average price for a taxi ride in foreign countries, to help you haggle a fair price.
Hi Hunters 👋
Big day for @lea_kilde and I, here in Copenhagen, Denmark.
We avoided selling Greenland to Trump and now we would like to help travelers avoid taxi scams in foreign countries 🚕 🌏
We created hagglestar to help travelers avoid taxi scams and to make the travel industry a bit more transparent.
The idea was formed after a trip to Asia, where we spend a lot of time negotiating with taxi drivers and not really knowing what a fair price was.
The app is meant as a supplement to Uber, Grab and Go-jerk to haggle prices with the local taxi drivers, in countries where the prices differs a lot.
It is not possible to book a ride at the moment, but this is something that we want to change in the future.
This is the first version of hagglestar and we are currently tracking prices in:
- Asia
- South of Europe
- Scandinavian
- United states
We are aiming to cover all of the development countries within a few months, to bring transparency to the taxi industry around the world.
Any feedback, advice or comments are much appreciated 🙏
Best,
Lea & Michael
@rungekuttarob Hi Rob.
Exactly… We have also paid a bit too much when travelling in Asia.🙄
And we´re hoping that our product will add value for travelers in these countries in the future.
