GTA Online: How to Fast Travel Using Taxis

Players can use taxis from the Downtown Cab Co to fast travel in GTA Online, albeit for a pretty steep price.

Because of the vastness of the map in Rockstar Games’ multiplayer adventure shooter GTA Online, traveling from one location to the next can often take players an excessive amount of time. Although several forms of transportation are available in GTA Online, players can get from point A to point B even easier due to GTA Online‘s most recent update. Thanks to Rockstar Games, it’s now possible to use taxis to fast travel through the land of GTA Online.

There are plenty of fun activities players can engage in across Los Santos, including gambling at the Diamond Casino, purchasing secret vehicles in GTA Online, or just causing general mayhem. No matter what players decide to pursue, GTA Online‘s fast travel can help them traverse Los Santos easily. While players can use the Downtown Cab Co to make some extra cash with Taxi Jobs, the company’s cabs can also be used to help players fast travel, albeit for a pretty steep price.

How To Fast Travel Using Taxis in GTA Online

According to the Youtube channel Digital Card Addict, Fast Traveling works exactly the same in GTA Online as it does in the story mode. Players can fast travel in GTA Online by using their in-game phone and calling Downtown Cab Co to send a taxi to their current location. Although restarting failed missions makes taxis pointless in GTA Online, these vehicles also make timely transportation for players willing to wait a few minutes. After calling their ride, players need to position themselves where the taxi can reach them, which likely means standing by the side of the road somewhere.

Once the taxi arrives at the player’s location in GTA Online, players can hop in. Once inside, players can select one of the pre-defined destinations. Although players are restricted to certain locations that have blips on the map, they can at least set a custom waypoint. After choosing a destination from GTA Online‘s too-accurate map, players can press A/X/Enter to select the Trip Skip option, therefore fast-traveling the player to their destination.

Although skipping the trip immediately delivers players to their intended destination, this option isn’t free, and each skipped ride will cost players $1000. While this steep price is quite a drop in the ocean to some players, others consider it a fair amount. Regardless, GTA Online players must be willing to spend extra cash if they intend to use this feature.

For players looking to fast-travel in GTA Online, it should be noted that only certain points of interest throughout GTA 5‘s Los Santos can be fast-traveled to, which means this feature won’t work if players mark a random waypoint on the map and attempt to fast travel there. Also, the fast travel option in GTA Online’s taxis comes with a 48-minute cooldown (or a 5-minute cooldown for GTA Plus members), which means players can’t just spam it.
