Another feckin rebranding for Hailo
The one, slim, inconsequential silver lining is that they might get rid of being called FREENOW, one of the worst rebrands I’ve ever seen for a company. Terrible, terrible, terrible name.
Download the other apps and have accounts. Got to keep them honest somehow
Time to stop using them and look for an EU alternative if anyone knows of any?
I’ve been using Bolt for the last year or so anyway. Far superior and cheaper. Slightly less drivers but still worth using to combat a potential monopoly. Bolt is most popular in many European countries.
Bring back Hailo,
Wont change a thing. Laws in Ireland mean these companies have to operate as regular taxis anyway.
higher prices undoubtedly. thank god for GDPR, because otherwise your data would go out to anyone willing to pay a buck for it. (still probably will, because you probably won’t be able to use it without accepting that term.)
Gonna move to Bolt. Given everything happening in the world and the fact that all the apps are broadly similar, I’d rather support an EU company than another US one

Bring on the piece war between Uber and Lyft. Lots of discounts coming our way I hope.

Why don’t they find a name and just stick to it? What is this, the fifth rebrand?

Personally, means I will boycott them and just call the taxis directly

Bolt is better – and cheaper – anyway, the only impact is that I cancelled my Freenow account, easy!

New stickers
I don’t think there is a reason to worry. I’m sure that taxis in Ireland will remain scarce, overpriced and in many cases driven by people who have no business behind the wheel of a car.
Get ready for more “unexpected” fees…
Tariffs on our taxis
Free now has been thrash for a while. Moved over to bolt which is much better.
