Getting around in Memphis
Taxi
Memphis's taxi service is efficient and comfortable. It is fairly easy to hail
a cab from streets and in case you wish to arrange for the pick-up, you
can call Yellow Cab (Phone: 901-577-7777) or City Wide Cab Company
(Phone: 901-324-4202). The first mile is $3 and $1.80
per mile after that. Each additional passenger is $1 extra. For wheel chair
compatible cab, please send the request at least 30 minutes in advance.
Car Hire
Memphis is an ever expanding city, and its best - and worst - can be
seen only by driving. A car is a necessary to travel between downtown and East Memphis.
Avoid driving between the usual traffic hours.
Memphis Car Hire
is definitely worth "going in" for as it will give you the freedom to see
the city at your own pace. Usually a person between the age brackets of 18 to 75
years with a valid license is allowed to drive a private, non-commercial
vehicle in the city. If you like to drive, don't forget to carry your driver's
license. For foreigners, International Driving Permit is compulsory.
Depending on the way you're travelling, there are many types of Memphis car rental services that can make it
convenient for you to move comfortably between hotels, places of interest,
restaurants and airports. Pick from economy vehicles to go for a trip around the
city to full size vehicles for longer inter-city excursions - all at best
prices.
