About Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator
Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator puts you behind the wheel of a taxi in a 1:1 scale recreation of Barcelona. You must obey traffic laws, react to weather and random events, and keep passengers satisfied to earn tips and high ratings.
The game supports popular steering‑wheel peripherals and game controllers, offers extensive vehicle customisation, and includes business features such as hiring staff and buying new cars. Progress can be saved at any time and stored via Steam Cloud.
02 / THE GUIDE
Vehicle Customisation
You can choose between electric or petrol models and select automatic, semi‑automatic or manual gearboxes. Customisation options include size, colour, driver’s cab, wheels and accessories, allowing each taxi to reflect your preferences.
Profits earned from fares can be spent to upgrade vehicles. Upgrades are unlocked through experience points gained by driving, exploring and interacting with customers.
- Prioritise functional upgrades such as brakes if you often drive in wet conditions.
- Balance cosmetic changes with performance upgrades to keep earnings steady.
03 / THE GUIDE
Passenger Service
Each fare requires you to follow road rules, avoid collisions and meet passenger requests like chatting, changing the radio station or opening the window. Satisfying these requests contributes to higher ratings and larger tips.
Special missions let you test speed without receiving fines or focus on flawless rule‑following, rewarding precise service with extra tips and excellent reviews.
- Listen for passenger cues early so you can adjust the radio or window before reaching the destination.
- Maintain a smooth driving style to keep passenger comfort high and avoid negative feedback.

Business Management
Fare profits can be used to purchase new cars and hire employees, assigning them to specific cars, neighbourhoods or time slots. Employee profiles help cover more of the city and increase overall earnings.
Strategic decisions about vehicle purchases, staff assignments and route planning maximise profit and expand your transport empire over time.
- Hire employees with complementary schedules to keep taxis active during peak hours.
- Consider buying an additional car once a steady income flow is established.
