David Ainsworth, from Anlaby in Hull, had a very happy Christmas this year, with a little helping hand from Cab Direct.  David won £500 in Cab Direct’s quarterly prize draw and received the money just in time to buy some extra pressies for Santa’s sack – much to the delight of his two children, Jack and Amelia!

A Happy Cabbie

On winning the prize, David comments: “It took me by complete surprise winning the cash.  After I had entered the competition, I forgot all about it until I got the call to say I had won. I was over the moon – my wife was too!” 

David continues: “Receiving the money in time for Christmas really took the pressure off in terms of earning – ideal at this time of year.  It was a very pleasant surprise.”

David has worked as a taxi driver in Hull for 12 years now.  Having previously owned the Peugeot Eurobus, he decided earlier this year that it was time for a change and opted for the Renault Trafic from Cab Direct. 

The Perfect MPV

David says:  “My decision to opt for the Trafic this year was based largely on cost.  It’s a whole lot of vehicle for the money.  The comfort levels are superb and the versatility makes it the perfect vehicle for the job I do.  The luggage space is just phenomenal too – it’s ideal for airport jobs.”

The Renault Trafic is just one of many fantastic MPVs available from Cab Direct – all perfect for the taxi trade. Available with various seating configurations for driver and up to eight passengers and with optional wheelchair access you can be assured of having a vehicle fit for every type of hire.

A Great Drive

With a 6-speed Quickshift sequential manual gearbox, the Trafic couldn’t be more comfortable to drive.  Fuel consumption is also reduced in the 2.0 dCi 115 model – both of which David has noted.  He says: “The driveability is great.  It’s such a smooth ride – even customers have commented.  The driver’s seat and the driving position are excellent too.”

With its new dashboard, Trafic is now even more user friendly.  Perfect integration in the form of a large glovebox and numerous storage compartments keep everything safe and secure.  Plus, with ‘Comfort’ seats and optional Carminat Satellite Navigation, driving and travelling in the Trafic is a joy.

Supplier of Choice

David concludes: “I’d recommend the Renault Trafic to anybody.  And that goes for Cab Direct too.  They have been nothing but helpful and they are always on hand to offer technical advice and support.  I’m a happy man.”
