Gett

Israeli ride-hailing app — pivoted in 2022 to focus on corporate ground-transport. Books licensed London black cabs at the metered rate plus a £1.49 booking fee.

Regulatory note: All ride-hailing in London — Uber, Bolt, FREE NOW, Wheely, Addison Lee, Gett — requires the operator and every driver to hold a Transport for London Private Hire Vehicle licence. Always book through the official app; never accept a kerbside hail from a PHV (only black cabs may be hailed).

FAQs

Does Gett still work for consumers in London?

Yes — the consumer app still books London black cabs (metered fare + £1.49 booking fee), but Gett's main focus since 2022 has been corporate ground-transport. Most marketing and feature work targets business customers.

Is Gett the same as Uber?

No — Gett dispatches only licensed London black cabs (Hackney Carriages), not PHV cars. You pay the official metered TfL rate plus a small booking fee. Cabbies have Knowledge training and offer ULEZ/Congestion Charge exemption.

How much is Gett in London?

You pay the standard TfL black-cab metered fare plus a flat £1.49 booking fee. A typical 3 km central trip is around £10–£14 plus the fee. There is no surge pricing — taxi fares are tariff-regulated.

Can I expense Gett rides for work?

Yes — Gett Business issues consolidated VAT invoices, supports per-employee budget caps, and integrates with Concur, Expensify and SAP. It's used by over 13,000 corporate clients in the UK including most City of London law firms.

Does Gett operate at airports?

Yes — Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City. The cabbie meets you at the official taxi rank with a name board for business bookings.
