Can I pay for taxi with credit card?

Pay with cash or card. However, most cab drivers accept only major credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, or Discover. If you pay in cash, carry small bills with you so that you can pay your exact fare. If you have larger bills, make sure the driver has change before you pay him or her.
