Same trusted SpaceCarz service 24/7 – now with the power to set your own fare. Introducing RideBid, the smarter way to book taxis in Peterborough

Ever felt taxi fares were just a bit too pricey, and you could get a better deal one-to-one with the driver than dealing with head office?

Now Peterborough’s trusted brand SpaceCarz has launched the perfect service to keep passengers and self-employed taxi drivers happy with a new way to negotiate the price that’s right, making your journey seamless, safe and the best value for money available. And it’s all done through the dedicated app, using registered SpaceCarz fleet drivers, making it the fairer way to agree a fare.

Simply download the free SpaceCarz app, available from the iStore or Google Play, and then when you want to book your journey you now have two great options, both with identical standards of excellent service in the four-seater and six-seater fleet available.

Conventional service

As a well-established and trusted brand in Peterborough you can book your taxi at a set or metred rate, just as you have done before. Same great service, same cars, same way.

New RideBid by SpaceCarz

Pop your journey in to the RideBid section and how much you want to pay – that’s then automatically offered to all the SpaceCarz drivers on duty at that time – they can accept your bid, offer up a counter offer or decline – it’s all done through the app. It’s like Vinted technology, but for commuters, making the same journey at a price you like.

Sometimes people like to think they can get a better deal. This way we are putting the passenger in direct contact with our licenced drivers, in a safe secure way through the app. They can haggle a price until both parties are happy. This is a first for Peterborough, I think it is unique. It’s the fairer way to reach a fare, putting both the driver and the passenger in control.

And remember, if you don’t find a match that works for you, SpaceCarz’ standard service is still there, and you can book a traditional taxi fare – whether you are heading to work, doing the school run, or jetting off on holiday, RideBid helps get your day off to a great start.
