Private Taxi Fares

Overview

Private Taxi Fares are optional side missions for Franklin Clinton, available after Friends Reunited once he buys the Downtown Cab Co. depot. The company's manager phones Franklin with nine special fares, and each passenger appears on the map as a "P." Any vehicle can be used, except for Clown Car, which needs a four-door car for three passengers. Finishing a single fare unlocks the "All's Fare in Love and War" achievement.

Walkthrough

1. Clown Car: pick up three passengers at The Richman Hotel, stop at the Maze Bank on Alta Street and the Fleeca on Hawick Avenue, put on hip-hop radio, and drop the last one at a 24/7 in Strawberry.
2. Cut You In: collect a man at LSIA who turns out to be a jewel thief, wait outside Little Gems in Mission Row, then lose a two-star wanted level and drop him at the airport.
3. Deadline: drive a boastful passenger from Sandy Shores to a poker game in Vinewood Hills in three and a half minutes.
4. Take It Easy: drive a queasy man carefully from Vinewood to "Rob's place" without making him throw up.
5. Fare Needs Excitement: pick up a thrill-seeker at Mount Zonah Medical Center and drive as wildly as possible.
6. Follow Car and the remaining fares follow the same pattern, each with a special objective.

Tips

• In Cut You In, park facing away from the store so you can leave immediately.
• On Deadline, cut across dirt roads instead of following the highway.
• Drive gently on Take It Easy; hard braking and sharp turns cost you the bonus.

Rewards and unlocks

• Various amounts of cash, plus fare-specific bonuses such as $200 for Clown Car and $1,000 for a clean getaway in Cut You In.
• "All's Fare in Love and War" achievement for the first completed fare.
• Not required for 100% completion.
