I think you will have the experience of leaving something in a taxi at least once in your life. Nowadays, it is often searched for because card information or payment details remain on the computer, but I think it was very difficult to find lost items in the past. As I write this, I think it would be better to pay by card rather than cash for taxi fares. For each situation, we have easily organized the search for corporate, private taxi, and Kakao Taxi lost items.
1. Payment by card + receipt
First of all, if you paid by card, the chances of finding the lost item are quite high. If you look at the receipt, the business number or driver number is listed. For corporate taxis, you can inquire with the company, and for private taxis, you can directly contact the driver. 택시 분실물 찾기
2. Payment by card + no receipt 좋은뉴스
If you paid by check or credit card, you can find out the information of the taxi you boarded by checking the payment record by calling the representative number of the card company. If the taxi you boarded is a private taxi, you can get the taxi license plate number and call the Customer Satisfaction Center at 1544-7771 to confirm.
Even when paying with T-money, you can contact the T-money taxi customer center at 1644-1188 to check the taxi information you boarded. If you paid with a Cashbee card, call the representative number 1644-0006 to check.

3. Payment in cash + license plate number
The details of the card remain, but it is difficult to find because there is no trace left when paying with cash. At this time, it is good to know whether the taxi you boarded was a corporate taxi or a combination taxi.
If you paid in cash and know the plate number, you can go to the website of the national taxi association below and search by region.
4. Payment in cash + no receipt
I don’t think there are many people who even remember the taxi number because they usually know after getting off if there is a lost item. In fact, at this time, leave the possibility open and inquire at the National Police Agency’s Lost and Found Center and the national taxi lost and found inquiry center. There’s no 100% guarantee you’ll find it, but if it’s important, give it a try. I’ll attach a link to the site below.

In the event of a lost item in a taxi, it is our top priority to check it as soon as possible. In the case of mobile phones, there are many cases where they are returned after receiving a reward, so there is a high possibility of finding them. It is also necessary to double-check your seat before getting out of the taxi. Hope you got the information you want.
