Whether you need to travel to the airport, long distance travel, or travel to and from Southampton cruise terminal, Idacab looks to be your leading choice.

We’re available for all kinds of taxi journeys in Southampton, including airport transfers, chauffeur services and transport to other cities.

If you’re struggling to find the right taxi firm for your needs, here are seven tips for picking a company (and why Idacab should be your number one choice!).

1. Look at the company’s reputation and reviews. Fortunately, nowadays, it’s never been easier to check online reviews and testimonials from previous customers. Websites like Google, Yelp, or Trustpilot can offer insights into the company’s reliability and service quality. Idacab is a highly reputable, family-run firm that has been working in this industry for over 20 years. We’re always happy to answer any questions you might have.

2. Check that they’re licensed and insured. It is always important to check that a taxi company is licensed and that their drivers have appropriate licences. Insurance coverage is crucial for passenger safety. Idacab has all the licences and insurance you should expect from this type of service.

3. Look for a company that looks after their vehicles- and has many different ones to choose from. Whether you’re a solo passenger or travelling in a group, you want to travel in clean, comfortable, and well-maintained cars.

   4. Pick a taxi company in Southampton that’s transparent regarding pricing. You should always ask about their pricing structure. Ask if they have fixed rates or if charges vary depending on factors like time of day or distance. Ensure there are no hidden fees or surprise charges. Not only are our prices always transparent, but all our drivers are fairly paid. We do this because we only want to provide you with the most professional drivers.

   5. Check their availability and where they’re convenient for you. Check the company’s availability, especially if you require transportation during peak hours or for early morning or late-night trips. Some companies offer online booking or mobile apps for convenient scheduling.

   6. Ride with a company that prides themselves on their professionalism and always does background checks on drivers. Professionalism, courteous behaviour, and knowledge of routes are essential traits for drivers. We can also put Covid measures in place if needed. Although the pandemic is largely over, there are still concerns about rising Covid rates this winter. If you’re concerned about this problem, we’re always happy to put safety measures in place. We also have GPS tracking that ensures that we get you to your destination in the most efficient way.

   7. Choose a taxi company that has safety measures in place. Safety should be a leading concern for any taxi firm, both in terms of getting passengers to their destination and their choice of drivers. Our company prides ourselves on only ever using drivers whom we trust implicitly and have had extensive background checks.

   Remember, it’s always a good idea to compare a few taxi companies based on these criteria before making a decision.
