“This is why everyone should use A proper Taxi firm, Not black cabs or small firms, The best firm around to use and the ONLY firm that is PCC trading standards approved is NEED A CAB 666-222.
NEED A CAB, is A great taxi firm, ALL the drivers are FULLY INSURED, ALL the drivers are Local lads with great knowledge of the local area and are FULLY CRB checked.
Text and phone messages are sent to the customers for safety, letting the customer know the Car type, Reg number and when it is parked at the pick up point. The drivers ALWAYS wait outside until the customers are safely in side there destinations. AND they ARE the CHEAPEST in the PLYMOUTH area.
NEED A CAB 666222 are really first class, and we all should support A Taxi firm like this, And buy supporting Local lads and local company's like NEED A CAB 666222 who make the extra effort we ALL can be Safe."

“I've just used a black cab from Notte Street to Mutley. The cost on the meter was £4 before I even sat down in it. It was double that when we reached Mutley. It's almost 1am so there was no possibility of a bus. The bus had there been one would have cost £1.30. Shank's pony would have cost nothing but may have been dangerous and felt like it was. I believe black cabs are preying on this fear and probably quite legally charging what they like.
The lesson for today then is, if you're rich it doesn't matter to you. If you're not you cannot afford a black taxi. If you're either then you're going to be ripped off anyway. If you're fearful and you set foot in a black cab in Plymouth you will be ripped off regardless. Avoid black cabs like the plague, unless your're rich and don't care. Black cabs prey on your fears.”
