Noel MaGuire, from Maghera in County Derry, has bagged himself a bargain on Cab Direct’s most economical hackney, the Citroen EuroTaxi, with a little help from the Government’s Scrappage Scheme initiative.

Noel, who owns taxi firm Glenone Taxis, was understandably more than happy to trade-in his trusty 1997 Peugeot 406 estate for Cab Direct’s Citroen EuroTaxi - the latest addition to their impressive hackney offering.

Noel comments: “I’m delighted with the EuroTaxi, especially as I managed to get £2,000 off what was already a great deal. I’ve been buying vehicles from Cab Direct for years now and the fact that they’re participating in the Scrappage Scheme is just an added bonus - it helps get old cars off the road, helps people like me to buy and helps the motor industry as a whole.”

Great Cab, Superb Economy
If you’re looking for a low cost, full-spec hackney then the Citroen EuroTaxi is the cab for you. Cab Direct’s latest addition to their hackney range is their lowest costing full-spec hackney to date, combining all you need in a modern day cab with truly great economy.

With wheelchair access, motion activated door locking, full partition screen and a two way intercom, the EuroTaxi packs a huge punch from only £18,995 on the road. Noel comments: “I opted for the EuroTaxi based on value for money. It has absolutely everything you need at such little cost.”

Driveability
EuroTaxi has been developed with the needs of the modern day driver in mind. Available with the choice of 90 or 120hp diesel engine, it promises both reliability and fuel efficiency at once.

Excellent road holding and modern suspension are also your reassurance of a smooth and comfortable ride. Add to this the raised driving position, large windscreen and side windows plus full sized-wide angle mirrors and the EuroTaxi comes up trumps when it comes to busy traffic.

For Noel, who has 13 drivers on his books, driveability is key. He says: “All the drivers have been impressed with the EuroTaxi. It drives beautifully. Plus, there’s masses of space.”

Accessibility
Another big plus point for Noel is the accessibility the EuroTaxi affords him. He explains: “I wanted a vehicle with good accessibility for both wheelchair users and other disabled passengers. The running boards are ideal for my purpose.”

With the option of twin telescopic ramps or Cab Direct’s EasyGlide™ under-floor ramp, the EuroTaxi is the perfect solution for today’s conscientious driver.
