A maxi taxi is a larger version of a regular taxi. While a standard taxi can usually accommodate up to 4 passengers, a Maxi-Taxi is designed to carry more people, usually up to 11 passengers. This makes Maxi Taxis great for group outings, events, or when you need more space for luggage. They provide a comfortable and spacious ride option beyond what a regular taxi can offer.
