Taxicab

Here is how to hire a taxicab and pay for it.
 
Outside the city limits of Sacramento:
  1. Contact a local taxicab company for service.
  2. Pay at the time of service with cash or other payment method that the cab driver accepts.
  3. Submit a Travel Expense Claim (TEC) (PDF format) to your department for reimbursement.
