When to use it
在这里停 (zài zhèlǐ tíng) is the direct "stop here" for taxi drivers. The casual 就这儿 (jiù zhèr, "right here") works just as well and sounds more natural in spoken Mandarin. For distance-from-destination: 前面停 (stop ahead), 后面停 (stop further back). Ride-hailing apps auto-stop at the destination so the phrase is mainly for traditional taxis. Point out the window while saying it; drivers appreciate a visual reference.
