app-rideshareThe Curb app formerly known as Taxi Magic is the most popular way to book taxi’s on demand in 60 cities across the U.S. With the Curb app you can book taxis from New Orleans to New York City in the U.S. and when traveling to Canada, the United Kingdom, and Mexico. They offer an alternative to on-demand ride share services that have surge pricing but remember cabbies regular rates are often more expensive. We recommend these as our #1 and #2 ride-sharing apps.

Curb is offering new users a free $5 credit toward your first ride, and you can earn additional $5 credits for referring your friends.

How To Get $5 New Curb User Credit:
1. Create a new Curb account and download the app for the first time.
2. On the credit card registration page that appears after creating an account, click the “Enter Promo Code” text link.
3. Enter Referral Code o91l92 to receive $5 in Magic Credits added to your account instantly.
4. Complete the registration of your credit card with Curb.

Curb finally launched a new and improved Curb app experience for booking and paying for your taxi rides. This was long overdue and a reason why we haven’t posted in over a year on this Uber Alternative because the old app was slow and unresponsive at times. This latest release includes a new look, time-saving features, and easier ways to choose your payment method. You can now provide special instructions for your driver right from the home screen something that Uber and Lyft could use. The best new feature is the “Pair & Pay” if you’re in a taxi, simply enter a 7-digit code and pay for a ride. The Pair & Pay is not available everywhere yet but they have worked hard to speed up this payment and it’s way faster than using the old credit card system that taxi’s are known to use. Make sure to update the app.
