In contract law, a taxi ride is typically considered an invitation to treat, not an offer. An invitation to treat invites the customer to make an offer (e.g., hailing a taxi), and the driver accepts by agreeing to take the passenger to their destination. It’s not a direct offer initially.

Case Rating: *
In contract law, a taxi ride falls into the principle of "invitation to treat" because:
- Hailing a taxi: By flagging down a taxi, you propose an offer to the driver. The driver isn't obligated to accept.
- Acceptance: When the driver agrees to take you to your destination, it becomes a contract.
- Terms: The fare and destination set the terms of the agreement.
