Forum notes


Drivers behaviour

Just a reminder that as a licensed driver you have standards to maintain. Due to recent publicly in various trade magazines about drivers making inappropriate remarks to female passengers. I just want to remind you all this is completely unacceptable and if we obtain evidence of any driver doing this you can expect that driving licence to be considered for revocation.


Making payments

All drivers and operators are sent a fees list in March, keep this in a safe place so you know the fees when it comes to paying. They are also on our website.

If calling to pay by card, please call 01932 838383 and choose option 5 to speak to a customer services advisor who will be happy to take your payment. Please let them know what licence you are paying for - Drivers or vehicle.

Alternatively, if you would rather make a bank transfer, please let us know and we will be happy to send you the Bank details and reference number needed.
