Taxi travel is now seen as the safest way to complete journeys across our fair city. COVID-19 has left many favouring taxi cabs in Inverness over using public transport due to social distancing and hygiene concerns. Who needs the extra stress of worrying about reduced timetables, busy buses and possible improper hygiene of your fellow passengers when you could travel in isolation and comfort with a trained driver?
With no Uber Inverness having ever come to fruition in the city, here are the top 4 taxi companies operating in Inverness:
1. Inverness Taxis – 01463 222222
Inverness Taxis have been providing taxi services in Inverness for the last 60 years. IT Taxis has the largest fleet of dedicated vehicles that range from regular and VIP cars, right through to minibus sized and wheelchair accessible vehicles.
Providing a reliable 24/7 365 taxi service, Inverness Taxis also can boast being the only taxi operator in Inverness for serving Inverness Airport, which means they are the only taxi company that may enter the taxi rank at the airport, making them the best choice for picking up and dropping off when travelling by air.
