Why the city centre calls Dream Taxis
Because the black cab rank at Central has a queue and no fixed price, and the app you opened just went into surge. We're a licensed private hire company with a fixed fare, a driver you can watch on the map, and a phone number answered by a person.
Airport pickups the other way: your flight is tracked, you get 60 minutes free waiting, and the driver can meet you in arrivals with your name.
