A Different Perspective of Parcel Delivery

By | cabinminutes | No Comments

When multiple big players and aggregators entered the Taxi business all over the World, they started thinking of making the best use of the platform. The major players have a strong digital platform with website, blog, mobile App and much more. As an unstructured industry became very structured with a means to communicate with customers, there are different additional services possible.

As the market capacity expands with digitisation and use of technology, the Taxi industry started thinking differently about the use of their services. One such different perspective is about delivering Parcel. The business of parcel delivery was primarily a business of Courier services and Post. The cabs have entered in this business in many countries, and Australia is one of them.

There are some considerations for parcel delivery. Some companies use it as a shared service, meaning they use the same cab for people as well as a parcel. It is known as a shared model, which tries to match the passenger route with the parcel delivery points.  The other two models are passengers only and parcel only, where there is no confusion or diversion of the route for passengers.

There are Cab companies which are in the business of delivering packages for many years, and we are one of them. Though every service provider was not online, the business was still there with the help of phones, text messages, and manual communication. Now, with the technological advantages, it has become easier to track the deliveries.

The huge fleets, many taxi companies are carrying it set to use for the courier business also, and it was an innovative idea for this industry. It is a disruptive idea for other businesses in parcel delivery, but they are getting their expertise in other areas also. The idea has made delivery of packages more efficient as well as economical. The cab services are thinking about different ways to make it more and more cost effective.

Our Parcel delivery includes a regular service for standard delivery, a VIP courier service with the first available driver, Critical Express delivery where we guarantee the pickup and drop time of the package. Set Run is like your internal courier, where we pick-up and drop the packages at a set time and run a shuttle service between your offices or different businesses. Along with our Airport pick-up and drop, we are providing the corporate services and Parcel delivery services also. Give us a call to deliver your parcel quickly and safely.

The White Night Festival and Pick Up Services

By | cabinminutes | No Comments

What is a White Night Festival?

The White Nights are a kind of all-night arts festival held in many cities in the summer. The festival started in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The white nights is the name given in areas of high latitude to the weeks around the summer during which sunsets are late, sunrises are early, and darkness is never complete. The first city outside of Russia to host such a festival was Paris, which has had its famous Nuit Blanche festival since 2001.

History of White Nights in Melbourne

Melbourne, Australia, held its inaugural White Night festival in 2013. Then it continued every year, and the number of visitors is growing exponentially. The third White Night was in 2015 which expanded the festival to more venues and locations. The National Gallery of Victoria and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image featured free exhibitions and films. The fourth White Night in 2016 attracted more than 580,000 people.

Enjoy Zero Card Fee On Airport Taxi

By | cabinminutes | No Comments

Have you noticed that the Victoria Taxis are changing for the better? There are multiple things being done by Australian Government to value add to the Taxi Service Industry. There is a new Driver knowledge test added to make sure your Taxi driver is more informed and knowledgeable about locations and services. The changing the colour of your cab can make it easy for you to identify a particular cab service & there are rules set for advertising in taxis. As a part of these reforms, there are reductions to the surcharge for card payment for taxis.

The surcharge incurred when passengers pay their taxi fare using a debit or credit card, voucher or app is 5 per cent. It is half of the original surcharge, and it is inclusive of the GST. Now 5% is the maximum amount the Taxi service can charge.

As a passenger, if you get a bill with more than 5 % surcharge, please retain your receipt and contact either the payment provider or your card company/bank in the first instance. Passengers wishing to provide feedback or make a complaint should contact the TSC

The five per cent surcharge is the maximum amount that can be charged on top of the fare and is inclusive of GST. If the fare is $100.00, inclusive of the base fare and all other additional payments as agreed along with GST, then a surcharge of no more than $5.00 may be charged. The total cost to a customer is $105.00. The service can’t add Merchant fees to the surcharge.

A good taxi service will get you to your intended destination promptly. The service is also much more likely to help you get your vacation off to a positive start. As every form transport from Melbourne Airport is not as comfortable and convenient, you can select a proven service. Now that we are connected, there is no need to spend a lot of time worrying about this anymore.

We provide multiple ways to book your favourite cab. You can call us, Book Online through our website; there is another number provided for enquiries, send a text message or send us an email. Visit our Facebook page and book from there also. We have provided multiple ways for our passengers to reach us making it very convenient for them.

We have decided to take a step forward, and for next week we will be waving card payment fees for Visa, MasterCard, and Amex for those who pays online.
