Female driver launches taxi firm
A new taxi service especially for females has been launched in Wigan, thanks to the clever thinking of one woman car insurance customer.
The taxi firm called Girls Allowed was the brainchild of a Wigan lady whose husband owns his own taxi company. Whilst working for the family-run business, she noticed that women responded to her differently as a female driver and decided to launch her own service.
She said: "We had six female drivers working for us and they were always coming back saying that the female customers have said they have never had a lady taxi driver before. A lot of ladies will get in the front with you and say they prefer it.
"We are hoping that eventually the ladies - the women, mums and grans
who use the service - will be more like friends and get to know the drivers.
It has nothing to do with ladies feeling unsafe with the fantastic male
drivers of the town, but more to do with preference."
A spokeswoman for CoverGirl Car Insurance Services, the experts in cheap
car insurance, said: "It's a great idea and I can imagine that there
will be a lot of woman
car insurance customers out there that would love to use the service
when their cars are off the road."
