What customers say about MAXiCab
Dougie McPherson
Chairman Glasgow Taxis (BEV)
“I have owned several different models of cab and the MAXiCab is, without doubt, the most comfortable to drive. It offers both the passenger and the driver a modern, comfortable travel experience”
Muhammad
Manchester (PHEV)
“Everything about this car is perfect! I’m even considering upgrading to a fully electric MAXiCab in the future. My favourite thing is how spacious and comfortable it is; I can drive for much longer without feeling tired.”
Mark F
Liverpool (PHEV)
“The MAXiCab is great! It drives great and feels so comfortable and the fuel economy has been brilliant. My passengers always comment on the space and how comfortable the rear seats are, and the panoramic roof gets mentioned all the time. Overall, great taxi.”
Mohammad R
Glasgow (PHEV)
“Everything about this car is great, especially compared to my old Vito. I’ve had it for 9 months now, and I still think it’s amazing with loads of great features. It’s much more comfortable than my previous taxi and the fuel consumption is a much better. Plus, customers love the panoramic roof.”
Ian H
Edinburgh (PHEV)
“Love my new MAXiCab PHEV. It’s more comfortable than my previous Mercedes Vito and more economical. Very modern taxi and I would recommend to everyone to go for it.”
David B
Glasgow (PHEV)
“Really happy with the taxi, the running costs are really good, great fuel consumption. Passengers love the space and the panoramic roof. Really nice taxi inside and out.”
Stewart R
West Lothian (PHEV)
“Very nice taxi, really nice to drive. Massive difference in the fuel consumption, I’m saving around £150 PW on fuel. Plus, the passenger feedback is great on the taxi, especially on the panoramic roof.”
Liverpool (PHEV)
“I previously had the old Procab and the MAXiCab is much better. I much prefer having the wheelchair passenger sitting forward, it feels safer and the wheelchair restraints are easy to use too. It drives just like a car, which is a huge plus. The extra space and legroom are great and make a big difference for everyone.”

Flexible Finance Options for Your MAXiCab
At Cab Direct, we recognise that every driver’s financial situation is unique, which is why we offer a range of finance packages tailored to suit your individual needs and budget.
So if you are looking for a straightforward 5-year hire purchase, a longer 7-year term, or a low-start option with reduced payments for the first 12 months, we’ve got you covered.
Hire Purchase Up To 7 Years
A straightforward way to own your MAXiCab. You pay an initial deposit followed by fixed monthly payments over the agreed term. At the end of the agreement, payment of a completion fee transfers ownership of the vehicle to you.
Benefits:
- Fixed monthly payments for easy budgeting
- No mileage limits
- Full ownership at the end of the term
Hire Purchase with a Balloon Payment
This option offers lower monthly payments by deferring a portion of the cost to the end of the agreement. You’ll pay a deposit and monthly instalments based on the vehicle’s expected depreciation, interest rate and your mileage allowance (costs may be incurred if you exceed the mileage allowance). At the end of the term, you can either return the vehicle or pay the final balloon payment to own it.
Benefits:
- Lower monthly payments compared to standard hire purchase
- Pay balloon or trade in vehicle at the end of the term
- Manufacturer warranty cover for the duration of the finance
Hire Purchase with Low Start
This option is ideal if you’d prefer to ease into your payments. It offers reduced monthly payments for the first 12 months, followed by higher payments for the remainder of the term. There are no surprises as all payment amounts are agreed at the start of the contract. At the end of the agreement, ownership of the vehicle transfers to you after payment of a completion fee.
Benefits:
- Reduced payments for the first year
- No mileage restrictions
