Gett is a software application which enables users to find extremely cheap taxis and car-sharing services on short notice. This program is primarily intended to address the needs of customers throughout the New York City metropolitan area, a region known for its high public transportation rates. Rides can be requested on the spot while it is also possible to book a reservation in advance. All major airports are included within this free mobile phone application.

Main Functions and Applications

Gett is somewhat similar to Uber although with this system, there are numerous different vehicles to choose from and ride shares are also possible. The creators state that the average pick-up time is between three and five minutes, so this app could be perfect for business professionals who are constantly on the go. It is also possible to choose from a range of high-end vehicles such as limousines and SUV variants.

Other Options and Benefits

The basic interface is extremely easy to use. After the download is complete, the user will enter into the pick-up and drop-off points, when the service is required and the type of vehicle that her or she prefers. Rate caps of $10 dollars are available for trips of up to 30 minutes (within Manhattan).
