Taxi Jobs are a taxi-based activity available in Grand Theft Auto V.

Description[]

Taxi Job activities can be activated whilst inside a Taxi by pressing the horn button Left Stick Button (Xbox) / L3 (PlayStation). This will request radio dispatch for a taxi job.

The Downtown Cab Co. can also offer the player taxi jobs. While driving a Taxi, the radio dispatch can occasionally be heard asking if any taxi drivers are able to take a job. The player will also be prompted on-screen. The job can be accepted by pressing the horn button. Taxi jobs can also be declined if offered, or canceled should the player request one, again by pressing the horn button.

Upon accepting a taxi job, the radio dispatch will locate a taxi fare for the player, marking on them on the map several seconds later. Their locations are pre-defined, unlike past titles, however the nearest available location will always be chosen. When arriving at the passenger's location, they will enter the Taxi, and their destination will be marked on the map. Like pick-ups, all drop-off destinations are pre-defined locations.

Once the player arrives at the fare's location, they will exit the cab. The player is awarded cash for completing the job, with the base fare and tip values shown on screen.

The fare's base price will be a fixed-rate amount, depending on the distance their destination is. The tip value is typically half the value of the base price, and will decrease should the player take too long, or damage the car. The fare will also be carrying a random amount of money on their person, between $100 and $300, which can be obtained by killing them after the job has been completed.[1]

Taxi jobs cannot be requested by or offered to the player while Wanted. If a wanted level is attained whilst on the way to collect a fare, the mission will be cancelled. If attained whilst taking a fare to their destination, however, the player will be told to Lose the Cops. Fares will exit the Taxi should the player stop, or spook them, however it is possible to lose the cops and continue on to their destination. Taxi jobs will also be cancelled should the vehicle be destroyed, or if the fare is killed. The player cannot request or be offered a Taxi job if the vehicle is heavily damaged, is on fire or is upside down. Taxi jobs that are offered to the player become unavailable if the player takes over 15 seconds to accept the job.[2]

Main article: Private Taxi Fare

As Franklin, the player can purchase the Downtown Cab Co., earning them extra revenue as fellow employees complete jobs in the background. Franklin can also be offered to complete special, private taxi fare missions at any time; Downtown Cab Co. will ring Franklin when one of these jobs becomes available, appearing as a separate Downtown Cab Co. option in Franklin's phone contact list. These jobs pay significantly better than regular fares. The player is not required to drive a taxi to complete these missions, but instead will require a 4-door vehicle.
