Some caution is required when using the taxi service. Often, when arriving or dropping Niko off, the driver doesn't care if he runs into parked vehicles. This includes vehicles parked in safehouse parking zones; to avoid damaging the vehicles, or pushing them out of the save spot (a possible issue depending how the taxi is lined up when it comes to pick Niko up), it's recommend that the taxi be summoned away from the parking zone, and the safehouse itself not be chosen as a destination. Also, it is possible for the taxi to drop you off within forbidden areas that will trigger high wanted levels; while the service won't bypass the barriers between islands, it is possible, for example, to be dropped off within the restricted zone at [[Francis International Airport]]. | |||
