Let's be real. The Los Santos map in GTA Online is HUGE, so it can take a while to get from point A to point B. This is especially true when trying to outrun the cops or make a quick escape. Fortunately, a new Fast Travel system is available in GTA Online using the Downtown Cab Co. Taxi service. In this guide, we'll detail how to use the Fast Travel option using taxis in GTA Online, so you can quickly move around the city. So without further ado, let's get started.
How To Fast Travel In GTA Online Using Taxis

It's worth mentioning that this new Fast Travel option is only available in GTA Online for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to activate the option:
- First, go on your phone and look for the Downtown Cab Co. Taxi service.
- Next, call the taxi service and wait for a cab to arrive.
- When it gets to your location, hop in the cab and select one of the following fixed points of interest indicated on the taxi meter:
- Los Santos International Airport
- Del Perro Beach
- Galileo Observatory
- Terminal
- Legion Square
- Chumash
- Tongva Hills
- Sandy Shores
- Grapeseed
- Paleto Bay
- Finally, select your destination by pressing X|A|Enter. Once you are on the move, you can "Skip" the ride, which will teleport you straight to your chosen destination.
Note: Unfortunately, the cutscene (or Trip Skip) will not activate if you select waypoints, stores, hideouts, or any other location. This service costs GTA $1,000 (or free if you are subscribed to GTA+).
The option to Fast Travel in GTA Online is incredibly useful for players who are crunched for time. However, it's worth noting that there is a 48-minute cooldown (or 5 minutes if you have GTA+) after using the Trip Skip option to prevent players from abusing the function. So, next time you're in a sticky situation, don't panic; hail a Downtown Cab Co. taxi and make your getaway like a boss!
