How to Book a Ride with the Greencar.me App: a Step-by-Step Walkthrough

If you've never used a taxi app before, or you've used a different one and aren't sure whether Greencar.me works the same way, this is the walkthrough. Everything below is based on what Greencar.me Taxi's own app listings describe, so consider this the honest, unglamorous version of what happens when you tap through.

Step 1: Download the app

Greencar.me Taxi is available on both major platforms: Google Play for Android, and the App Store for iPhone. The app supports a wide range of languages, so if English isn't your first language, there's a good chance yours is in there too.

Step 2: Let it find you

Once you open the app, it works out your current location automatically rather than making you type an address from scratch. That alone saves the most annoying part of ordering a taxi in an unfamiliar town, trying to describe where you're standing to someone who can't see you.

Step 3: Enter where you're going

You put in your destination, and the app shows you a fare estimate before you commit to the ride. That upfront number is worth pausing on: you're not stepping into a car and hoping for the best, you're seeing roughly what it'll cost before you agree to anything. If you want to understand how that number is actually calculated under the hood, our explainer on Montenegro's metered taxi system covers it in full.

Step 4: Add anything the driver should know

There's a space in the order for extra notes or preferences, things like asking for air conditioning on a hot day, or flagging that you've got more luggage than usual. If you're traveling with kids, bulky gear, or anything else worth mentioning ahead of time, this is the field to use, and we've written more on that specifically in traveling with a lot of luggage.

Step 5: Save your regular addresses

If you're staying in Bar for more than a couple of days, you can save address templates, places you order from or go to often, so future rides take a couple of taps instead of typing everything out again. This matters more than it sounds like it should if you're here for an extended stay; see planning a longer stay in Bar for more on that.

Step 6: Ordering ahead, or ordering for someone else

Two features worth knowing about specifically. First, the app supports pre-ordering with an advance cost estimate, so you can arrange a ride in advance rather than only requesting one the moment you need it. We go into the timing side of this in more detail in booking ahead vs. on the spot. Second, there's an option to book a ride for someone else, you enter their phone number, and they get notified when the driver is on the way, which is genuinely useful if you're arranging a pickup for a guest, a relative, or anyone who isn't the one holding your phone.

Step 7: Track and communicate

Once your ride is confirmed, the app gives you a couple of ways to stay coordinated with your driver: an in-app chat if you need to clarify where you're standing, and a one-tap option to share your exact coordinates instead of trying to describe your location in words. There's also an option to share your order via a link, useful if someone else wants to know where you are or when to expect you.

Step 8: Pay

You can pay by cash or by card. That's it, that's the payment side of things, and it's worth knowing upfront rather than discovering at the end of a ride.

Step 9: Rate your driver

After the trip, you can rate your driver and, if you'd like the same one next time, mark them as a favorite. It's a small feature, but useful if you're in Bar for a while and want some consistency.

A note on speed and pricing options

The app is generally built to be quicker than phoning in an order, since your location and destination are handled digitally rather than described out loud. There's also an option within the app to pay a bit more for faster pickup priority if you're in a hurry, which is worth knowing exists even if you don't always use it.

What this doesn't cover

The app handles booking, location, communication, and payment. It doesn't promise specific vehicle types, accessibility features, or child seating, if any of that matters for your trip, ask about it directly when you book rather than assuming, since none of it is guaranteed by the booking process itself.
