Frequently Asked Questions
How do you manage to provide a quality service at a low price?
Its very simple, we have been established for over 20 years and only do distance work, this means that we have cars all over the country at airports, so if we are taking you out to Manchester Airport theres a good chance we are fetching someone back, if you are going to Leeds Bradford Airport, we may well be picking someone up from Leeds, this means we have far less dead mileage than traditional taxi companies who usually come back from the airport empty, that means savings in things like fuel and wages and we can pass those savings onto you
Do you provide child seats?
No, as we cannot be sure the seat we provide is correct for your child, but you can fetch your own and we will store it while you are away, please write your surname on it in permanent marker, please ensure it matches the name you have made the booking in
Do children have to sit in child seats?
No, taxi journeys are exempt from child seat laws, however we recommend you supply your own child seats as this is the safest way to travel, children 3 years or over must sit in an adult seatbelt, under 3 years can be unrestrained
