Q: How reliable are Beijing Taxi drivers at night?
I don't think "reliable" and "taxi driver" should go in the same sentence 
But seriously, they know the city pretty well so I'm sure they'll be able to get you to your destination.
when you go out have a printed map of where you need to go and watch them carefully if they are trying to rip you off their body language will give it away
One of the best ways to not get cheated with night taxis is to learn some of the most crude and unpleasant phrase you can. If the traffic is bad use them to talk about the traffic, or the same if the weather is bad, etc. It's one of those little tricks to make them know you are more than just a random tourist, so they are less likely to take you the long way home. Plus then you have a good choice of phrases to use against them when they do try to cheat you.
