Would you prefer a local friendly taxi firm, or a larger out of area firm with unfamiliar drivers and hit and miss service?
The benefits of using local are:
* Local firms are familiar with the area. We know the busy times of the day and are easily able to navigate traffic using alternative routes and shortcuts to get you to your destination quickly.
* You are supporting small businesses in your community. When you choose local, you are helping keep money circulating in the local economy.
* A local company offers a more personalised service compared to larger companies.
* Easier to build trust with your driver and makes the journey more comfortable and enjoyable.
* Local smaller firms are able to offer more competitive pricing compared to larger national firms.
* Local firms are often more flexible in terms of their operating hours
* Local taxi firms are regulated by the council. We must adhere to strict protocols and must undergo safeguarding, SEND awareness and basic life support training periodically and be subscribed to the DBS update service.
* Our vehicles must be tested every 6 months to ensure they are mechanically safe.
