Taksee is currently available via phone and app in Spain, and just via app in a number of other European cities, including London, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Rome.

The partnership is initially in operation in London and Paris. “Its business model is an open one in that, through its roaming solution, Karhoo enables any local fleet to become global using Karhoo’s global platform,” she added.
