1. Go to Warstock Cache & Carry and purchase the Vapid Taxi for $650,000 - $487,500.
2. Press R3 on PS4 and PS5, RS on Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X, B on PC.

Gamers can also use the “Taxi Custom” Pegasus vehicles collected as an Arena War award to begin the new side business.

It’s a fun and neat way to relax that was added to GTA Online with the latest weekly update.

Further details about Taxi Work in GTA Online

The Taxi Work is basically a Free Mode job that can be started in any session, including the Invite-only ones. It consists of the following mission objectives that players need to achieve as Taxi drivers:

1. Wait for dispatch.
2. Pick up the customers.
3. Signal them once they arrive at the location.
4. Wait for them to enter the Taxi.
5. Drive them to their destination and collect fare money.

However, they can fail the mission in any of the following mentioned conditions:

1. Players quit the job by pressing the prompt button.
2. Players receive a wanted level during the job.
3. The taxi gets destroyed.
4. The customer gets killed.

Players can easily earn around $100-$200 per fare and $1,000-$2,000 per tip. However, the latter can be deducted if the Taxi receives any damage or players take too long to complete the job. After completing 10 fares, the tip value will max out at $2,000.

There are over 100 pre-defined fare destinations added to the game, ranging from the Terminal in Los Santos to the North Chumash in Blaine County. Players can earn the following rewards by completing a set number of Taxi Work missions:
