http://www.imore.com/best-iphone-apps" title="best apps for iPhone">best iPhone apps[/url] for getting a ride to where you need to go? With services like Uber, Lyft, and many others cropping up, there are tons of options when it comes to getting around, no matter where you are in the world. Even if Uber isn't available in your area, there are other services, and even apps that pull in regular taxi services that can help you get a ride in no time. So if
public transit just isn't your thing, these are currently the best apps to help you get where you need to go, when you need to be there!</p> <!--break--> <h2>Uber</h2> <p><a href='

Just fire up the app, create an account, and link a payment source. After that you're ready to go. Choose from an uberX ride — which are Uber verified drivers typically in unmarked cars — or choose a regular taxi, black car, or SUV. Toggling between different modes of transportation can also show you where drivers are in your vicinity so you know how long you'll be waiting for a ride. You can also get fare quotes right inside the Uber app. Once you've taken your Uber ride, your payment source is automatically charged so no physical money ever has to change hands.</p> <p>For decent fares and lots of different ride options in many countries worldwide, get Uber.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="

However, Lyft offers a few features that differ from Uber, with one of them being Lyft Line. With this service, you can find people that take the same route as you on a regular basis and split the fare with them. This makes it great for work commutes or other kinds of daily trips. Starting off, Line is available in the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas. Lyft's regular service lets you easily see where rides are, catch one, and easily pay right within the app. Lyft also offers larger vehicles via Lyft Plus that accommodate up to 6 people at once.</p> <p>If you're in a major city in the US that supports Lyft, it's definitely worth trying out.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="

Like other services, Sidecar also performs background checks, carries liability insurance, and lets you pay via the app. You'll see your fare upfront so you know exactly what you will be paying before you even choose your next ride. Sidecar is currently available in San Francisco and the Bay Area, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Boston, Washington DC and Charlotte. My only negative at this point is that many drivers don't seem to have many ratings just yet, which may make some folks slightly wary.</p> <p>If you want to have more control over vehicle type when selecting a ride, check out Sidecar.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="

The premise is much the same as Uber but simply ties in with existing taxi companies and their drivers. Curb currently boasts over 25,000 taxi drivers. As your taxi makes its way to your location, you'll be able to track its progress inside the Curb app so you can be sure you don't miss your ride. Like Uber, you link a payment account to Curb to pay for your fare through the app. You can also opt to pay cash if you'd like, something services like Uber don't allow.</p> <p>For a more traditional taxi experience, and the option of paying with cash if you prefer, check out Curb.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="

From there, just make sure there are taxis in your area and you're good to go. Confirm your ride and then pay for it within the Easy Taxi app. Once you book a ride you should see the taxi's plate number and phone number appear on the map as well, making it easy for you to pick out both the car and the driver.</p> <p>For great international availability, especially across the Middle East and Asia, check out Easy Taxi.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="
