Alternative taxi service Uber (much-loathed by Kraków's taxi companies) is also now available in Poland, and has in fact chosen Kraków as its European hub. Uber offers one-tap, no-cash-necessary transport via their popular worldwide mobile application. Those already familiar with Uber will find Kraków well-covered by the service, however there are some drawbacks. Specifically, Uber drivers don't have the same permissions as regular cabbies and may not be able to take you as close to your destination, or get you there as directly; such is the trade-off for slightly cheaper rates.
