Inverclyde Taxis launch innovative booking system
Inverclyde Taxis & ABC Taxis are all set to offer clients their latest ‘instant taxi’ booking service from today. Callers to the local operations centre will have the opportunity to use the taxi operator's new quick and simple automated booking system.
Isabella McCall, Operations Supervisor explains how the instant taxi booking system works:
“The new system is so straightforward and easy to use. Clients just call their usual number – then press 1 on their phone. That’s it! The system then automatically dispatches the next available car that is nearest to your address. It just couldn’t be any easier!”
Isabella continued, “Instant taxi is brilliant for all callers – for example, maybe someone who phones every morning for a taxi to work. Clients can use ‘instant taxi’ and save themselves some valuable time every morning. And of course, myself or a member of the team will always be available to assist any clients who prefer the personal touch.”
To support the launch of the ‘instant taxis’ booking service, all callers who register for the new service by Friday 31 October, will be entered into a prize draw to win a fantastic 42” flat screen TV.
The instant taxi service will initially be available to all callers from a landline. Callers will need to register for the free service, which will take no more than a few seconds. Then, it’s all system go and callers can simply dial and press 1 every time they need a taxi from home.
Henry Glasgow, Managing Director is looking forward to the roll-out of this latest service:
“We are delighted to offer all our clients the enhancement of the ‘instant taxi’ booking service. It simplifies the booking process for our clients making regular and repeat journeys – saving you time on making the booking itself and resulting in a quicker dispatch of your taxi.”

Inverclyde Taxis supports Damian's Law petition
More than 300 signatures from drivers and operators at Inverclyde Taxis were passed to John Muir, in support of his efforts to have Damian's Law added to the statute book. Damian's Law, named after Mr Muir's son, would introduce a mandatory sentence for anyone caught carrying a knife. Mr Muir's son was murdered as he walked home after a night out in 2007.
