The most trusted taxi in Taunton
Traveling by taxi can be a convenient and comfortable way to get around, whether you're heading to the airport, a business meeting, or just exploring the local area. At Friends Taxis, we are committed to ensuring that every journey is safe, smooth, and enjoyable. Here are our top tips to help you make the most of your next taxi trip.
One of the easiest ways to ensure a stress-free experience is by booking your taxi in advance. By pre-booking your ride, you can avoid last-minute stress, ensure timely pick-up, and even choose the type of vehicle that best suits your needs. Whether it's an early morning airport transfer or a night out in Taunton, knowing your ride is confirmed gives you one less thing to worry about.
When it comes to safety, it's always best to choose a licensed and reputable taxi service like Friends Taxis. Trusted services ensure that their drivers are well-trained, vehicles are regularly maintained, and that all safety measures are in place. You’ll also have access to customer support should any issues arise during your journey.
For added peace of mind, share your trip details with a friend or family member. Many taxi services, including ours, offer options for passengers to share their journey via GPS tracking. This lets your loved ones know your location and ensures you feel secure throughout the ride.
Before getting into the taxi, always check the driver’s credentials. A licensed taxi should display the driver’s ID, license number, and the name of the taxi company. Don’t hesitate to ask for this information if it’s not clearly visible.
When traveling alone, it’s a good idea to sit in the back seat, preferably behind the driver. This not only ensures a comfortable ride but also provides an extra layer of safety. Additionally, always fasten your seatbelt, regardless of where you’re seated.
Staying alert and aware of your surroundings is important for a safe taxi journey. Take note of the driver’s route and be mindful of landmarks or areas you’re passing through. If you ever feel uncomfortable with the route being taken, politely ask the driver to follow your preferred route or check your GPS to make sure you're on track.
In today's digital world, many taxi services offer convenient and safe contactless payment options. This eliminates the need to handle cash and can make the payment process quick and hassle-free. Friends Taxis, for example, accepts card payments and mobile wallets, ensuring a smooth end to your ride.
While taxis are generally safe, it’s always a good idea to keep your personal belongings close. Make sure that your phone, wallet, and other valuables are securely stored in your bag or pockets. It’s also helpful to check the back seat before exiting the taxi to ensure you haven’t left anything behind.
Although rare, if an issue does arise during your journey, it’s important to have access to emergency contact numbers. Our customer service team at Friends Taxis is always available to assist, and we advise saving these numbers in your phone for easy access.
The whole point of taking a taxi is to make your travel easier and stress-free. Once you’ve ensured that all safety precautions are in place, it’s time to relax. Whether you're catching up on emails, listening to music, or simply enjoying the ride, let our professional drivers take care of getting you to your destination safely.
