GTA 6, how to
How do you call a taxi in GTA 6?
Short answer
None of the frames we have shows a taxi being hailed, called or ridden in. The nearest thing in them is a water taxi, a canopied passenger boat on a city waterway at 17:28 of the Extended Look, carrying passengers. Whether a cab can be called from the phone and ridden to a marker, as it could in Grand Theft Auto V, is unknown.

Where the footage shows it
A taxi is a vehicle you use by not driving it. The frames we have hold plenty of cars and, as far as this site can find, no cab on a road. They have one on the water. This page is what that says, and what the last game did.
What the material shows
At 17:28 of the Extended Look, on the same stretch of city waterway as the kayaks, is a canopied passenger boat: a yellow hull over a white lower band, a roof on posts, yellow rails, and passengers who can be made out one by one under the canopy, several seated along the rail and a man in a hat standing near the middle. It is a boat that carries passengers, which is the whole idea of a taxi.
No road taxi is in any frame we hold. Nothing shows a cab being hailed, a fare being paid, a ride being skipped or a destination being chosen. The two pieces of machinery a taxi would use are in the footage on their own: the phone, shown as a message card at 23:57, and the minimap, which draws a route to a marker at 15:49.
What nobody knows
- Whether there are road taxis at all, and whether they can be hailed or called.
- Whether the water taxi is something you can ride, or scenery.
- Whether a ride can be skipped, and what it costs.
- Whether a taxi company can be owned, as one could last time.
How Grand Theft Auto V did it
This is the reference, not a prediction. In Grand Theft Auto V taxis patrolling the streets could be hailed, and the Downtown Cab Co. could be called from the phone to send one. A ride, for a fee, went to a preset destination or to a waypoint you had placed on the map. The cab company itself was for sale: the GTA Wiki lists it at two hundred thousand dollars, paying two thousand a week. A water taxi had no ancestor in that game at all.
What this page becomes on launch day
From 19 November 2026 this guide is rewritten from the release build: how a cab is called, what it costs, whether the ride can be skipped, and what the boat on the waterway turns out to be, each with the date it was tested. Until then the short answer at the top stands.
Where this comes from
Every claim above rests on one of these. Anything marked the platform holder is Sony or Microsoft describing their own store or hardware, not Rockstar. Anything marked reported is somebody else telling us what Rockstar said, and is treated as weaker than Rockstar saying it. Anything marked our own play is something we saw ourselves in the game, on the console and version named; the link goes to the screenshot or clip.
