Taxi Or No Taxi? The Perks Of Pre-Booked Transport

Lewis Taxis • 23 November 2023

Taxis may be seen as an outdated form of transport by some, but there are an array of reasons to continue using these timeless services, and we should know - having been at the forefront of matters in The Midlands for over 50 years. Consult our handy guide if you’re unsure whether to book a taxi, with insight into the quality and professionalism we continue to provide. From the simplicity of organising a trip, to the advantages over using public transport or walking, let’s jump right in.


A Simple Process

A surprisingly simple process when you use Lewis Taxis Midlands to book, the appeal of a taxi is increased tenfold when it’s so easy to arrange! Because our online cab booking system is easy to use, it’s ideal for both booking taxis in advance and on the spot. All you have to do is click ‘register now’ to sign up for an online account. You can even click ‘book taxi’ for an immediate service. Either ensure the taxi is at your location on demand, or pre-arrange for a time and place.


Local Knowledge

Local knowledge is an attribute which should not be underrated, and although GPS systems exist for the exact purpose of navigating side-streets and beating the traffic during peak times, you simply cannot beat a helping of local knowledge. Pre-booked taxi drivers will also have the time to accurately plan a route based on the time of day and circumstances, so even if there are irritating roadworks or heavy traffic obscuring one route, our team will endeavour to find a viable solution.


Avoid Delays

Looking to arrive at a destination on-foot? Or maybe you’re relying on the local buses? Unfortunately, neither of these options are foolproof, especially pinning your hopes on the infamously unreliable local bus networks. When choosing a taxi instead, delays can occur for a number of reasons, but none more prominent than limited driver availability - which is why booking in advance is a great choice. Making sure you’re on the ball by pre-booking will ensure a dedicated driver at your door as soon as required.


Punctual And Professional

Arriving with a smile, and always receptive to additional needs during the journey, a dedicated driver from Lewis Taxis Midlands will happily act as your personal chauffeur as you navigate from A to B. Simply specify if you have additional requirements prior to pick-up, as our large fleet of vehicles includes 5, 6, 7 and 8-seater cars as well as MPVs. A brilliant choice, we even send our drivers out in a selection of executive cars. Whatever your requirements, we are confident that we can provide the service to match.


Private taxis have the potential to be a fantastic choice regardless of circumstance, and if you’re seeking a transport service which prioritises comfort, punctuality and a friendly service at all times, Lewis Taxis Midlands may be your ideal choice. A well-established hire company in Coventry, but serving the wider region and beyond, we offer private hire travel across the West Midlands. If you’re interested, call us at your earliest convenience!
