Used Taxi Hits the Spot

06/09/2010

Lydie Bocquillon, a taxi driver and company owner from Kingussie, a small town in the Scottish Highlands, recently purchased a factory reconditioned E7™ taxi from Cab Direct and couldn’t be happier.   

Unlike a typical used taxi, a factory reconditioned E7™ from Cab Direct offers real peace of mind.  That’s because it undergoes a 50 point quality inspection and repair in the same factory it was first built.  Guaranteed to taxi test and with a 12 month unlimited mileage warranty to boot, a factory reconditioned E7™ taxi comes to you with added reassurance.  

Lydie says: “I took over Kingussie Taxis a year and a half ago.  We didn’t have a wheelchair accessible taxi at first but when I decided to get one earlier this year, I opted for the E7™ based on its reputation.  A factory reconditioned model was the perfect fit as it gave me everything I wanted at the right price.  I’ve been really impressed with it.”

E7™ Taxi About Town 

With a population of only 1,400, not surprisingly the residents of Kingussie have noticed the new hackney around town.  Lydie comments: “This is the only wheelchair accessible taxi in Badenoch and Strathspey and, happily, I’ve received a very positive response from customers, particularly in terms of space and accessibility.”

Lydie continues: “The E7™ taxi is great when it comes to wheelchair access.  The under floor pull-out ramp is really easy to work with.  It’s fantastic for the elderly too.  The ease and convenience of accessibility is one of the main reasons I picked the E7™ over other hackney taxis on the market.”

With a fantastic range of fully factory reconditioned E7’s to choose from, each with wheelchair access, you’re sure to find the perfect cab for you at Cab Direct.  Standard accessibility features include manual or cab operated side-steps, high visibility grab handles, a wide entry door way and, of course, a choice of wheelchair accessible ramps. 

Bags of Space

Another big plus point for Lydie is the amount of space in the E7™.  She says: “I was previously driving a Peugeot 407 and love the fact that I can now cater for seven passengers and all their luggage.”

With a spacious rear compartment and EasySlide™ rear seat, which can be moved forward to allow for extra boot capacity, catering for large luggage laden groups is certain never to be a problem again.  There’s even the option of an additional luggage pen up front beside the driver. 

And, of course, with space comes comfort – something else which the E7™ taxi offers in abundance.  With its sculpted driver’s seat offering lumbar support, air conditioning, electric windows, steering column mounted audio controls and numerous handy storage areas, E7™ is second to none when it comes to comfort for the taxi driver.
