As the COVID -19 crisis continues, Ecocabs taxis, based in Hexham, has adapted to minimise the spread of the virus. Here are some of the safety precautions our taxis have in place.
- We have added partition screens to our vehicles. This keeps contact between our passengers and taxi drivers to a minimum.
- Each vehicle is disinfected after each journey and deep cleaned at the end of every shift with NHS approved disinfectant. We had already earned a reputation for clean vehicles before Covid, but we are really going that extra mile now.
- Drivers have been issued with virus prevention packs, which include gloves, hand gel, N95 masks, NHS-approved disinfectant and wipes.
WHAT WE ASK OF OUR PASSENGERS
Please do not travel or book a taxi if you or any member of your household is displaying or have displayed any symptoms of the virus within the last seven days.
Only book journeys in accordance with government social distancing rules. You can travel for reasons such as critical work, essential food shopping or medical.
On entering the taxi, please use the hand sanitiser provided. Should you need to cough or sneeze during the journey please use a tissue (provided). Take it with you on leaving the vehicle.
Why not download our app? It’s simple to register and simple to use. Once registered, you can pay by card for each journey in seconds.
You can still make payments in cash. However, please get out of the taxi and go to the front passenger window to do it.

ADAPTING TO COVID CHALLENGES
This latest health crisis has been a particularly difficult experience for everyone in the country. At Ecocabs, we are always striving to be ahead in all aspects of the taxi business. We made many improvements in our working practices over 2019. Luckily, this meant that we could adjust quickly when Covid-19 hit the UK
For instance, our investments in the latest technology software and cloud computing meant that we were able to offer continue delivering a first-class service whilst our office staff worked remotely from home. They continue to do so.
Ecocabs prides itself on caring and now more than ever we can deliver a safe and efficient taxi service to the people of Tynedale.
Stay safe and well from all at Ecocabs.
