What We Do
We are the address for digital journeys in Turkey since 2013. We still blaze the trail as Turkey’s first taxi-hailing app with our ongoing work in the industry. Bringing developing technologies and our users’ needs together, we come up with modern solutions and keep improving ourselves and our app.
As Bitaksi, we offer our users the convenience of hailing a taxi with just one tap and track the taxi’s arrival as well as the driver’s name, score, and license plate number. Our users can share information about their trip such as the driver’s name, the taxi’s license plate number, and their live location with any person they wish.
Moreover, our users can travel with their furry friends thanks to our Pet Taxi service in 24 cities we operate. Another one of our services in the app, GetirDrive, helps our users rent car for days, hours, or even mere minutes. getirbitaksi, gone live in October 2021, provides service also from the Getir app.
