We’re also delighted to announce that our enterprise client list has increased dramatically, with more businesses than ever choosing GetTaxi over PHV as their exclusive transportation provider. In the next few months we are set to take on some very important business accounts alongside a huge increase in consumers acquisition, and we could not have done this without your commitment and dedication. Thanks to the influx of account work, the average GetTaxi fare is now £22 per journey, which means more money in your pocket.

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your loyalty and support – we wouldn’t have been able to get where we are today without you.

We’ve included some highlights from the last year below, and also an update of where the business currently stands.

Here’s to a promising future ahead! 

GetTaxi and Private Hire

We’d like to confirm that there is no such thing! The only relation between GetTaxi and PHVs is in the fact that here at GetTaxi we are doing everything possible to take work from them and bring it back to where it belongs – the licensed taxis.

GetTaxi has never worked with or for PHVs and there is no plan to do so.

GetTaxi is however targeting companies that currently have accounts with PHVs companies, for example Addison Lee. In the last few weeks we have taken more than 15 accounts from different mini cab companies and we’ll continue to increase this number in the coming months.

GetTaxi and Hotel Rides

GetTaxi is very keen to take ownership of work that has been wrongfully taken by PHVs, and is continually looking for creative ways to do so. Unfortunately, a couple of months ago a former GetTaxi sales person sent you all a text message that conveyed exactly the opposite of what we are looking to do. After a number of consultations with you, we have decided to shelve this scheme until we’re confident we have found the best way of implementing it.

We’re already in discussion with the largest Hotel Management Systems companies to find ways to integrate our booking system with theirs, allowing GetTaxi to “bypass” the concierge and other kickbacks. Watch this space.

GetTaxi Drivers Committee

Over the last few months there have been a number of changes at GetTaxi HQ. We recently set up a drivers committee, a dedicated group of drivers that provides insightful thinking on your behalf, so GetTaxi can continue to improve and grow, whilst providing you with the necessities needed to ensure you can continually deliver the high quality service we’re known for.

GetTaxi and Corporate Accounts

GetTaxi has just completed a long and thorough recruitment process of sales experts that will lead our corporate sales into the next stage by targeting companies that use PHVs as their main transport service provider. We’re already seeing the fruits of our labour, and we’re positive we have a bright future ahead.

GetTaxi Technology

GetTaxi is pleased to announce the arrival of our new driver terminals. The device contains a number of features including an upgraded drivers application that many of you have asked for. The new unit will also benefit passengers… Stay tuned for the release date and more details of what it will include.

GetTaxi’s Facts

GetTaxi is the cheapest and risk free service in London – drivers pay nothing for the equipment or the data it consumes

Driver’s pay a flat fee of £1 per private jobs and only 10% on account work, where in most cases they get 5% gratuity back (so effectively only 5% subs)

Driver’s are not charged for any credit card payments

No drivers charges on credit card payments for non GetTaxi passengers

If the job has been cancelled three minutes after you accepted it, GetTaxi will reimburse you with £5

GetTaxi average meter fare is £22.
