Free taxi games on Android range from realistic city taxi simulators to quick traffic games, an idle taxi tycoon and a snake-style passenger train. Ratings run from Everyone to Teen, so check before a child plays. One listing says it plays offline with no internet needed.
Every child who's ridden in a taxi has wondered what it's like up front. Taxi games let them find out, minus the traffic jams, the meter and the grumpy passengers. Well, mostly minus the grumpy passengers.
I read the Google Play listings for popular taxi games and noted the developer, installs, the content rating, the ads and in-app purchases labels, and any offline wording. They're in no particular order.
Content ratings vary more than you'd expect. Four games are rated Teen, two are rated Everyone 10+ and four are rated Everyone, so the rating column matters on this page.

Simulator, arcade or idle?

Taxi games for the road
Taxi Driver: Crazy City Game is the one listing here that says it plays offline. If you're after more driving games for a tablet, try these free offline car parking games for tablets.
Long drives are where these games come into their own. This list of offline games for kids on a road trip has plenty more, and for bigger city worlds on older phones, see these free offline open world games.
A game of real-life taxi
On your next car journey, let the kids be the taxi controller. They pick the destination, you drive, and they keep a count of passengers you'd pick up on the way. It's a lovely screen-free follow-up to a taxi game, and it'll keep them looking out of the window.
Older kids can take it further: plan a route on a paper map, guess how long it'll take, and see who's closest when you arrive. It's sneaky maths and geography, and they won't notice they're learning.
