Transportation You Can Trust

Coastal Ride, formally App-a-Cab, is the premier smartphone Taxi Booking App for Hampton Roads, dispatching taxis serving Newport News, Hampton, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, their local airports, and military bases. With Web Booker you can also use any Internet Browser to do the same things, in the same system, using the same account!

Easily book a taxi based on your current GPS location or by entering your pickup location details. Coastal Ride then locates the closest cab to ensure prompt service. Using our live tracking feature, you can watch your cab arrive on a map and receive notifications when the cab is near.

The Fare Estimator, using the rates set by the city, can estimate the cost of your ride. You can also schedule future pickups from any location, so use Coastal Ride to book a taxi to the airport tomorrow or downtown this weekend. You can even choose from recent locations used or save your own favorites (i.e. Home, Work, Gym, Favorite Bar, etc.).

With taxis booked through Coastal Ride, there is no surge pricing or surprises when it’s time to pay. Taxi pricing is set by the city and is plainly visible on the meter. You always know what you’re paying.
