MANCHESTER

GetTaxi anywhere for a Fiver promotion hits Manchester.


Hello Drivers

Welcome to GetTaxi. We’re really excited to be working with you to ensure Black Taxis are the best and safest way for people to get around Manchester.

Following our successful UK wide launch (you may have seen the news in the Telegraph or Manchester Evening News), we really want to let people know you’re out there and most importantly, get them into Black Cabs.

As of today, we’ve launched our first campaign in the city to bring more passengers directly to you. We’ll be offering users a fixed price of £5 to go anywhere within central Manchester, but GetTaxi will be subsidising the cost. We’ll be promoting the campaign to thousands of new users from Monday 23rd, so they can experience the GetTaxi app and also the safe, reliable and super-fast service provided by Black Taxis.

Watch the video on how £5 rides works here.

How will the £5 campaign work for me?

Drivers will be paid at a rate of £45 per hour. Therefore:
If you pick up a job that lasts one hour you will get paid £45

If you pick up a job that lasts 30 minutes you will get paid £22.50

When a £5 job comes in, ‘£5Fixed’ will show on your app before you accept the ride
When you’ve finished the job, the exact payment you’ll get will be confirmed by text message
How will the £5 campaign work for users?

Passengers will only get the £5 fare if they book via the GetTaxi app, enter their destination, pay by card and the journey is direct (no stop-offs)

If any of the above criteria are not met, the meter applies

Passengers will receive a popup confirmation in the app before booking, if they’re eligible for the £5 fare
The passenger’s card is then charged £5 once the ride is complete (no cash fares)

We’re expecting huge demand for this campaign so please make sure your app is switched on and pick up as many jobs as possible. Let’s show Mancunians why Black Taxis are best and give them an amazing GetTaxi experience every time they ride, so they come back again and again.

Also, don’t forget to keep referring drivers - you get £25 for each new driver that joins. Just make sure they quote your GetTaxi driver number when signing up.

We’re really excited to have you on board.

Thanks
Remo Gerber
