Local Taxi service for local people, their drivers know the area like the back of their hand, guaranteeing safety to those in our community that are no longer able to drive.

** PLEASE READ*** 🙏🏼

As a local run business it is very difficult to compete with larger companies/franchises who spend £1000s in advertising costs and its getting even harder with Facebook as they aren’t showing as many adverts unless your paying.

I would really appreciate it if my friends & customers could help the business by taking 1 minute of your time if you would be kind enough to;

1️⃣ Go to Washington Taxis
2️⃣ Like and Follow the page
3️⃣ Next to the “Follow” option you will see 3 dots ••• click on them
4️⃣ Click 'INVITE FRIENDS’

Thank you ❤️❤️

P.S post pinched from a fellow business everyone help others if you can. It costs you £0 to support a local business through sharing! 👍
