Feature Friday: Meet Cars Taxis - 0191 2150033 🚖
Some businesses become part of the community simply by always being there when people need them.
That's exactly what Direct Cars Taxis has been doing for more than 40 years.
Established in 1984 with just one car operating from a small rented office, the business has grown into a fleet of around 80 taxis, providing transport across three local authorities. From school contracts to everyday journeys, their team keeps people moving 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Taxi services might look straightforward from the outside, but it's a fast-paced, people-focused industry where customer service is at the heart of everything.
As a family-run business, Direct Cars has built its reputation by putting customers first and being there whenever they're needed. Their commitment to providing a reliable service has made them a trusted part of the North Tyneside community for over four decades.
One piece of advice has stayed with them throughout their journey:
"Never give up and always look for a way to provide what the customer needs."
Looking ahead, the team is focused on expanding their coverage while continuing to deliver the dependable service their customers rely on every day.
