GTA Online has finally received the highly coveted Taxi Fast Travel feature, yet it's only available on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It is currently unknown why Rockstar Games chose to limit this highly useful mechanic to just two platforms. The older consoles have had titles with a Fast Travel feature before, so it's not a technical issue with their hardware.

Nevertheless, this mechanic is limited to just the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S ports of GTA Online. Players can call Downtown Cab Co.'s Taxi Service, enter one of their cars, and use Skip to Destination. This feature normally costs $1,000 to use and has a 48-minute cooldown.

However, GTA+ subscribers don't pay anything and only have to wait five minutes rather than 48.


GTA Online players can use Taxi Fast Travel feature only on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S

It is worth noting that GTA Online players can primarily use the Taxi Fast Travel feature to get to certain Points of Interest. Examples of locations include:

  • LSIA
  • Del Perro Beach
  • Galileo Observatory
  • Terminal
  • Legion Square
  • Chumash
  • Tongva Hills
  • Sandy Shores
  • Grapeseed
  • Paleto Bay

Once the player picks their destination, they should see a "skip" button on the bottom of their screen. Press the button command for that prompt to see a brief loading screen before the player is teleported to their desired location.

The following tweet is an example of this mechanic in a brief gameplay video regarding how it works.

Unfortunately, GTA Online players cannot use this feature to go to any location on the world map as it's primarily limited to Points of Interest. This mechanic is otherwise similar to how it works in Grand Theft Auto V. Rockstar Games has not announced any plans to implement this system in the PS4, Xbox One, or PC ports of GTA Online.
