At 001 Taxis Oxford, passenger safety isn’t just a priority – it’s our foundation. While Oxford remains one of Britain’s safest cities, we understand the importance of feeling secure during every journey, especially given recent national conversations about personal safety.
Booking Your Journey Safely
The safest taxi journey begins before you step into the vehicle. In Oxford, all legitimate taxis must be licensed by the local authority, and at 001 Taxis, we exceed these requirements with additional safety measures:
– Book through our official channels (phone, website, or trusted partner apps)
– Save our number (01865 240000) in your phone for quick access
– Receive driver and vehicle details in advance
– Track your journey in real-time through our booking system
Verifying Your Taxi
When your taxi arrives, take these essential steps before entering:
- Check that the vehicle matches the details sent to you
- Look for our distinctive branding and official taxi license plate
- Verify the driver’s ID badge, which should be clearly displayed
- If something doesn’t feel right, don’t get in – call our office immediately
During Your Journey
Our professional drivers understand the importance of passenger comfort and security. However, we recommend these additional safety practices:
– Share your journey details with a friend or family member
– Use our track-my-taxi feature through your booking
– Keep your phone charged and readily available
– Sit in the back seat where you feel most comfortable
– Trust your instincts – our drivers are trained to respect your preferences
