EastCoast Taxis inc. Foxhunters Taxis have been providing transport solutions for 17 years now and in this time have built our fleet up to a sizeable 160 taxis. Consisting of four, five, six and seven seater taxis, wheelchair accessible vehicles, and our new fleet of executive vehicles East Coast Executive.
We consider ourselves to be the most advanced and forward thinking taxi company on Tyneside. Recent investment of over £200K in computerisation means that the company offers the most up-to-date telephone booking and dispatch system available. This enables jobs taken from customers to be transmitted, via data screens in the vehicles, more accurately than ever before. The use of data screens in the vehicles eliminates the annoying radio noise of the past and ensures that no third party can eavesdrop on transmissions which is all too common when dealing with companies working with voice on radios, your security is assured.
All vehicles on our fleet are fitted with GPS satellite units, enabling the computer system to allocate the closest vehicle to the job. For safety and convenience we have introduced a service that we call RingBack. When your vehicle is within one minute of its pick up point the driver presses a button on his data screen and the customers telephone (landline or mobile) is rang to notify the customer of the approaching taxi, no more hanging around outside waiting for your car.
We provide facilities to over 200 companies around the North East and the UK. Companies such as Atmel, Barclays Bank, BBC, North Tyneside Council, Newcastle Health Authority, Northumbria Health Authority, DFDS Seaways, GMTV, Royal College of Surgeons, Sainsbury, Newcastle Airport, Northern Electric, Nexus, Orange, Potts Printers, Northumbria Police, UCI Cinemas, Transco and many others use our services.
