Safety

D-Way Travel – Ensuring your safety

It is important to us that the safety of our passengers is paramount throughout the business. Steps we take to ensure the best level of safety are:

• Fully comprehensive insurance on all our vehicles
• All drivers hold full Licenses for the vehicles they are driving, as well as having undergone an assessment of driving skills and knowledge before being allowed to take passengers
• All vehicles are strictly non-smoking, as well as our drivers being prohibited from smoking in the vehicle or whilst in the presence of our customers
• We do NOT use remould tyres on any of our vehicles
• All the vehicles are inspected for any mechanical faults by our own staff daily prior to leaving the depot
• All vehicles are fitted with ISOFIX and approved seat belts

When considering hiring a Taxi always ensure that the firm is being operated legally and is licensed and fully insured! This is for your safety as well as piece of mind on your journeys. It is a sad fact that there are many people who do operate illegally and therefore putting passengers at risk, you may feel like you are getting a bargain, but no bargain is worth putting yourself, family or friends at risk. Any lawful firm will always be happy to answer the following:

• What is your operator licence number?
• Are your vehicles licensed for hire and reward?
• Are your vehicles fully insured to carry passengers for hire and reward?
• Who are your insurers? (Ours currently is Aviva)
• Are all your drivers’ holders of a full licence to drive the vehicle for hire and reward?
• Are you fully insured for public liability?
• How much are you covered for? (Ours is £10,000,000)
• Which council is the Taxi licenced with? (Ours is SNDC)

You are well within your rights to ask to see the drivers licence and a copy of the insurance certificate. If you have any doubts or suspect, they are operating illegally you can contact your local councils licencing officer. Or for busses and coaches, your local Traffic Commissioners can be contacted on 0300 123 9000.

Choose to travel in comfort and safety with the knowledge that everything possible has been carried out to ensure your safety.
