TAXA 4x35

30
Value score / 100 Worth paying? No Skip it

TAXA 4x35 is not worth using for most international visitors due to significant account creation issues, but for those who can register, it offers reliable taxi service in Copenhagen.

Free to download 4.8★ lifetime (1,367) since 2011

TAXA 4x35 is a free app for booking taxis in Copenhagen, but it has severe limitations for international users, primarily failing to accept non-Danish phone numbers for account verification. While some users praise its functionality and service quality once an account is established, the inability to register makes it unusable for many visitors.

Free vs paid

The app is free to download and use, with no in-app purchases mentioned. Users pay for taxi rides directly, either through the app or in the taxi . Some users noted a feature to set the price before the ride , but one review claimed these pre-paid prices were 30% over normal fares R40. Foreign card payment issues were reported, though taxis accept cards directly .

Value complaints

  • The app's pre-paid prices can be significantly higher, with one user reporting them to be 30% over normal fares.R40
  • Some drivers are accused of overcharging by taking long routes or keeping meters running after drop-off.R2R7
  • Hidden card fees are charged for non-EU cards, and an unexplained "Extra" charge appears on invoices.R54

Where it delivers

  • Many users report quick response times and prompt taxi arrivals, even during busy periods like New Year's Eve or early mornings.R34R56R66R74
  • Drivers are often described as professional, informative, and providing good service.R15R33R34
  • The app is considered easy to use with a good UI and helpful features like GPS location and taxi messaging, once an account is successfully created.R32R43R45R46
Worth paying if

It is worth using if you have a Danish phone number or can successfully bypass the international number verification issues, as it offers a convenient way to book taxis with features like driver tracking and in-app payment R38R46. It can be particularly helpful for navigating Copenhagen if you are unfamiliar with the city or currency .

Skip / stay free if

You should skip this app if you have a non-Danish phone number, especially a US (+1), UK, Swiss, or Cypriot number, as account creation and SMS verification are consistently reported to fail R1R3R5R10. Also skip if you expect Uber or Lyft levels of convenience, as the app is described as clunky and less convenient R35.

Evidence note: The lifetime rating is high, but recent reviews are overwhelmingly negative, primarily due to the app's inability to support international phone numbers for account creation. This skews the perceived value for visitors significantly downwards, despite positive experiences from users who can successfully register.

  1. [R40] 1/5 · US Totalt ubrugeligt - og prisfusk: Kan ikke bestille vogn til min bopæl, fordi appen ikke kender adressen (velkendt adresse i København). Kan ikke få den til at acceptere mit kreditkort - selv om de flere gange har sagt at nu skulle det virke, efter jeg klagede. Gemmer ikke meddelser til chauffør, som så skal indtastes igen og igen og igen og igen og igen. Syndefunktion med forudbetalte priser -
  2. [R2] 1/5 · US Overcharged for taxi ride: I tried this taxi company. The driver took a long route and ended up charging about twice what I would have paid with Uber. Never again
  3. [R7] 1/5 · US Beware scammer drivers: They have dishonest driver. The driver kept his meter running after he drop me off the hotel. They reimburse me the difference.
  4. [R54] 1/5 · GB Hidden charges: If outside of EU you will be charged a card fee which is disgusting and is not made clear when booking. Also there is an “Extra” charge on invoice, have no idea what this is for. The search function using map is useless as well. If tourist don’t bother adding credit card, it’s a lot of messing around when you can just tap card in the taxi. Shame Uber is not in Copenhagen, the compe
  5. [R38] 5/5 · US Better than Uber: I live in the US but visit Copenhagen regularly. I normally use Uber in the US, just for the convenience of the app. This app gives me all the functionality of Uber (order, see your Driver’s location and arrival time, pay through the app, email receipts) PLUS I get a “real” taxi driver with a nice car who knows where he’s going! All taxi companies should have an app like this.
  6. [R34] 5/5 · US Awesome service: Within 5 minutes our driver had pulled into the Tivoli Hotel to pick us up. Quite enjoyable conversation and ride to the Airport. Thank you Fabio!
  7. [R56] 5/5 · GB Quick and easy, very convenient: This app is pretty good. We tried to called taxi in different companies, but none of them picked up. But with this app we get taxi in 5 minutes.

  10. [R15] 5/5 · US Excellent 30 year veteran driver: Excellent 30 year veteran taxi drive with accident free record. Good conversation and he anticipated a protest congesting terminal 3 and asked if it was ok to drop me off at terminal 2. Excellent service.
  11. [R33] 5/5 · US Professional and prompt: The driver was very informative, very professional, and prompt.
  12. [R32] 5/5 · US First Time Using App: Visiting from the United States and seen the commercial on TV. I walked farther than anticipated and thought I would try using the Taxa app. Worked great and simple to use.

  19. [R10] 1/5 · US Doesn’t work for foreign phone: I have not received the code.
  20. [R8] 1/5 · US Terrible. CPH needs Uber ASAP: - Terrible UI (can’t use current location nor search the name of a location, only its literal address.) - Extremely overpriced as well. - Copenhagen needs to get Uber ASAP
  21. [R35] 3/5 · US Don’t expect a lot but can get the job done: If you’re expecting Uber or Lyft, it is far less convenient and the app is much more clunky. Eventually we were able to get a taxi and to our location, so it worked but it was a hassle.
