When planning your travels, especially in a bustling yet quaint area like St Andrews, booking a taxi might seem like just another item on your to-do list. However, you might want to think twice before double or triple booking taxis with different firms for the same trip. Here’s a light-hearted look at why keeping it simple with one booking is the way to go!

Ethical Considerations:

Double or triple booking taxis might get you a ride, but it’s quite unfair to the drivers who lose out on other genuine bookings. This kind of booking behavior can deny drivers the opportunity to earn from other potential rides.

Avoiding Unnecessary Costs:

Booking several taxis might seem like a sure way to guarantee a ride, but it can lead to multiple cancellation fees. Managing these costs can be more hassle than it’s worth.

Conserving Resources:

Each taxi on the road uses fuel and time to get to your pickup location. By booking multiple taxis, you’re wasting valuable resources, which isn’t great for the taxi service or the environment.

Maintaining Your Good Name:

Frequent cancellations or no-shows can tarnish your reputation among local taxi firms. Keeping to one booking helps maintain a good relationship with your preferred taxi service.

Ensuring Service Efficiency:

Taxi firms plan their schedules around confirmed bookings. Multiple bookings can disrupt these plans, affecting service for everyone else.

Remember, when you book with St Andrews Taxis, you’re guaranteed reliability and professionalism. Just listen to what our customer, Elizabeth Cowan, had to say:

“St Andrews Taxis is possibly the best taxi company we have ever used. When your child goes away to University and you want to know that there will be someone there to pick them up if they return to St Andrews at anti-social hours from the airport, train station, etc., then St Andrews Taxis will always be there. Linda and James (and their drivers) are professional, friendly, and always go that extra mile.”

So next time, save yourself the hassle and stick with St Andrews Taxis — one booking is all it takes!
