GTA Online has added so many gameplay features over the years, but the addition of Taxi Work seems like a natural fit. So let’s run you through the process of a taxi job in GTA Online.

The beauty of GTA Online is that there is so much to do and buy that it’s kept players entertained for years, leading to multiple rereleases.

With GTA 6 firmly in Rockstar’s sights, and a ton of leaked gameplay footage already telling us that the game is moving along in its development, this incarnation of GTA Online will begin to wind down.

The Los Santos Drug Wars content addition could end up being the final-ever, major content drop for GTA Online. However, Rockstar Games keeps adding new features to enhance the online component even more, such as taxis and fast travel.

Where to find GTA Online Taxi Work

To do Taxi Work in GTA Online, players will need to locate and visit Downtown Cab Company and you’ll get a text from the company soon after to let you start working for them.

If you’re unsure where Downtown Cab Company is in Los Santos, then you can find the destination directly opposite the Diamond Resort Casino building on the map.

Head to the building, enter through the glowing circle, and you will begin your stint as a taxi driver.

What is GTA Online Taxi Work?

Taxi Work in GTA Online allows players to assume the role of a taxi driver, pick up fares, drop them off at their assigned drop off, and earn money for doing so.

If you’ve played any Grand Theft Auto game before, then you’ll know that Taxi Missions, along with Ambulance and Fire Engine missions, are a staple of the franchise. GTA Online merely borrows the concept and gives players another way of making money in the sandbox title.

How to make money fast with Taxi Work in GTA Online

Quite simply, the best and fastest way of making money in GTA Online through taxi missions is to be efficient, safe, and speedy.

Just like in real life, you need to be mindful of your driving, not crash, not drive too fast or dangerous, and get your fare to where they want to go sharpish.

There’s also an extra incentive for you to complete consecutive fares with the base salary per fare increasing as you progress.
