Benalla Taxis has joined forces with Australia’s number one taxi company, 13cabs, to utilise its sophisticated dispatch service to ensure passengers can quickly and easily book a taxi.
The new system started on Wednesday, February 8, allowing passengers to either call on the existing number, 5762 3333, or book a taxi through the 13cabs website or app.
Benalla Taxis driver Mark Goodley said the new fleet boasted seven vehicles, including two maxi-taxis for passengers with a wheelchair.
“We service Benalla and surrounds, and love the area,” Mr Goodley said.
“The former owner allowed us to form a co-op which makes our service truly local.”
When booking through the 13cabs app — or by ringing the 13cabs main call centre on 132 227 — anyone in Benalla or surrounds will automatically be connected with a Benalla Taxi.
Greg Hardeman from 13cabs said its modern booking app was designed to help local taxi services give their residents and customers a great deal.
“We are delighted to work with Benalla Taxis, and in turn, help the people of Benalla,” Mr Hardeman said.
“13cabs now offers a great service to people in the north-east of the state, including Shepperton Echuca, Wangaratta, Wodonga and now Benalla.”
You can download the 13cabs app at Apple or Google Play stores.
