Welcome to Los Angeles (LA). We understand that calling a taxi using a complicated smartphone app in an unfamiliar place can be challenging. This is especially true for the older generation or those not accustomed to using smartphones.
But don't worry. You can easily book our Hangil Taxi using KakaoTalk, the most familiar app for Koreans. You don't need to install a new app or sign up for anything; we'll show you how to conveniently inquire and book using the KakaoTalk you already use. We are an LA Koreatown taxi service primarily operating in Koreatown, LA.
What Makes KakaoTalk Booking Convenient?
Many people prefer booking a Koreatown call taxi through KakaoTalk instead of smartphone hailing apps. The biggest reason is familiarity and convenience.
You can start a conversation directly with the KakaoTalk you normally use, without the need for separate app installation, membership registration, or credit card setup. Being able to inquire comfortably in Korean and ask questions immediately is also a big advantage. Long details like pickup addresses or flight information can be left in writing, allowing for accurate communication.
