Any cabbies you run into - tell them the plan. You will find at least 1 guy who will give you his mobile number and note his lisense plate. Then call (or get the hotel to) and reconfirm. He will totally be waiting for you at said time and date and will probably give you a wake up call

I've done it a bunch of times.
