Cab Direct, alongside all of the other major taxi sales suppliers in the UK, has been majorly affected by the vehicle shortage crippling the motor industry. The global shortage of semiconductors combined with the disruption in the supply of neon gas, also required for vehicle microchips, caused by the war in Ukraine has meant that car manufacturers all over the world have had to reduce or even stop production. Just when the taxi industry was starting to improve after the disaster created by COVID-19, the latest struggle is getting a new taxi. However, we are delighted to announce we have secured a new vehicle to add to our private hire range, the Suzuki Vitara – and what’s more, we can deliver these vehicles within just 4 weeks!
Suzuki Vitara
Rather than review this new vehicle ourselves, we thought we would ask an expert! Our customer Mr Rogers visited us recently to pick up a taxi he had bought from us, so we asked him to take the Vitara for a spin and let us know what he thought. He said of the test drive “The Suzuki Vitara seems like a great vehicle for use in private hire – it has all of the features I would need on a shift like a sat-nav and Bluetooth. The boot is a great size too which is an important consideration for us drivers. Plus, the mild hybrid technology means that this can get up to 52.7 miles per gallon, which would mean great savings on fuel!”
If you are looking for a new taxi at the moment and struggling to get availability, get in touch with us to secure a Suzuki Vitara taxi and have it delivered within four weeks! To find out more about this vehicle, visit the Suzuki Vitara webpage.
Hackney Cab Availability
If you are looking for a hackney carriage rather than a standard taxi, we can help! We have partnered with Mercedes-Benz to be able to exclusively offer Vito Taxi once again. We have a limited number of 6-speed manual Vito Taxis also available for delivery within just four weeks!
