General

What is ubiCabs?

ubiCabs is the free mobile app and website that lets users find and book minicabs and taxis at competitive rates. The service, which currently covers London and all area airports, gives users instant access to over 2500 TfL-licensed minicabs so they will never have to search for a local minicab number again.

ubiCabs is revolutionising the industry by setting a high standard for safety, quality and transparency. By using location-based technology to connect users with the nearest minicab, ubiCabs is providing a more convenient service for customers and improving efficiency and the environmental impact of minicabs by reducing “dead mileage”, the time that a minicab drives without a customer, which is currently ~45% of the time.

Why download a cab booking app?

This is the easy one. A to B in London, conveniently, quickly and without reaching for the phonebook or a search engine. Always there, on your phone, waiting for when you need a cab for the airport, for a night out or for anything at all.

How does ubiCabs work?

We use technology beyond the ken of website copywriting guys to combine price comparison, location and customer company reviews and provide your perfect minicab. We’ll make sure, without you needing to think about it, that you’re always receiving the best minicab for your journey, at the best price.

What are your cabs like?

All of our taxi companies are licensed with the Public Carriage Office, meaning that all drivers are CRB checked, medical checked, in possession of E.U. drivers’ licenses and driving cars less than five years old, safety checked within the last six months. You’ll receive booking details by SMS too, and with driver tracking you’ll know exactly who’s coming to pick you up and what they’re driving. Perfect.
