How do you tell a taxi driver to drop you off?

The best thing to do is give them a visual point of reference where to stop. It is not rude to want to be dropped off at an exact spot. Remember the driver doesn't know you and your routine so they rely on you to say where to go. Polite would be giving them time to safely move and stop where you would like to be.
