In Spain, 'coger un taxi' is the most common way to say this. 'Tomar' is understood but sounds slightly formal or Latin American to Spanish ears. Always use 'tomar' in Mexico. The verb 'coger' is a very strong slang term for sexual intercourse and should be avoided in transport contexts. In Buenos Aires, taxis are black and yellow. People often call them 'tachos' informally, and the drivers are 'tacheros'.
