At the end of each ride HITCH will automatically bill the passenger’s credit card, tip included!

This application is only for licensed taxi drivers in Bermuda. In order to register you will need a valid Public Service Vehicle License, a current Taxi License, and a valid Bermuda bank account.

Should you wish you use HITCH to book a taxi, please download "HITCH" for customers which can be found in the App Store.

This App uses GPS, continued use of which running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
