Taxi address card

Turn your hotel's local-language address into a big, clear card you can show a taxi driver, with a short request in their language and a one-tap map link.

How to get the local address

Drivers need the address written the way locals write it, not a translation. Machine-translated addresses often point to the wrong place, especially in countries with their own address systems, like Japan or Korea. Here are reliable ways to get the real one:

• Your booking confirmation. Many booking sites and hotel emails list the address in the local language as well as in English.
• The hotel's own website. Switch the site to the local language and copy the address from the contact or access page.
• Google Maps. Search the hotel, then change the app or browser language to the local language; the address under the name will switch to local script.
• The front desk. Ask for a hotel business card when you check in. It works for every ride back.

Tips for using the card

• Add the phone number. If the driver is unsure, they can call and ask for directions.
• Show the map too. Many drivers recognize a pin faster than an address.
• Save a card for each hotel on a multi-city trip, so you can pull it up offline once the page has loaded.
• Turn your screen brightness up at night. The card stays on screen while it is open on phones that support it.
