4. Jeju Happy Taxi Tours kick off
Fixed daily rates, no commission fees
As of Friday, Jeju has started operating so-called “Jeju Happy Taxi Tours”... a no-strings-attached full-day tour service… in the luxury of your own private taxi and chauffeur for the day.
The Happy Taxi Tour service was devised on the back of complaints about extra charges and cash requests that come with guided tours, as well as forced stops at souvenir stores.
The new taxi tour service comes at a fixed rate, based solely on the number of hours used. For up to 9 hours a day, it costs 150,000 won for a typical four-seater taxi and 230,000 won for larger taxis that can accommodate up to 9 people. Reservations must be made at least three days in advance at www.jejutaxitour.co.kr.
A total of 48 large-sized and 298 mid-sized taxis will be operated on a trial basis from July 20th… and the taxi tour service is expected to be in full swing by September.
