Free Now’s latest taxi update will come as a welcome change for many, as the price of taxis continues to rise across the board.
In recent months, the price of taxi fares increased to reflect inflation and marked another blow to Irish consumers - particularly those struggling to make ends meet.
Now, to help people get where they need to be during off-peak hours, Free Now has launched a new booking option that will save you money on your next trip.

In a statement, a spokesperson explained: "We are excited to announce the launch of our newest booking option: Taxi Lite.
"This booking option offers the lowest guaranteed fare between 5:00 am-7:00 am Monday to Sunday, 10:00 am-4:00 pm Tuesday to Friday, and 7:00 am-11:00 am Saturday and Sunday."
They went on to suggest that: "Lite is perfect for those who are looking to save money while still getting around town quickly and easily, as the maximum fare you will pay is capped."
This new option means you will "always pay the lowest price upon reaching your destination."
You’ll therefore be paying the lower of either what’s on the taxi meter or the upfront maximum price offered before booking Taxi Lite.
At this point, it is understood the service is only available in the Dublin City area.
