13cabs Mid North Coast Bureau is a family-owned and run business through and through. The Williamson family operated Forster-Tuncurry Taxis for 22 years, Taree Taxis for 15 years and Laurieton Taxis for the last five before partnering with Australian-owned company 13cabs.
Co-director Christie Cristoforo (née Williamson) says they moved to 13cabs for its sublime booking system and contactless payment options.
The system is so good, Christie says, customers can even track their drivers for precision departure times.
"By partnering with 13cabs, we'll be unlocking advanced booking processes and systems as well as more rigid safety and security precautions across all our taxis. Something we believe is truly warranted right now."
You'll find the same familiar faces picking you up too. Usually, there are 20 to 25 locals on the roster. Between them, they have countless years of experience and incredible local knowledge.
Understandably, some of them have temporarily stood down but as soon as it's safe to do so, they will all be back on the road, doing what they do best; driving the community safely and efficiently to wherever they need to go.
"Looking into the future, we're excited our new 13cabs fleets will provide frequent, quality and reliable transport for locals and tourists alike," says Christie.
The robust taxi fleet, includes six sedans and three wheelchair accessible taxis (WAT) for Taree. There are also three sedans, five WAT vehicles, and two point to point taxis (for booked work only) for Foster, and one sedan, two WAT vehicles and one point to point vehicle for Laurieton.
