From Civic meetings to airport runs: work-related taxi travel in Canberra made easy
Posted on
Think about the last time you needed to organise a ride for work in Canberra. Perhaps you were leaving a meeting in Civic and needed to get across town for the next one. Or you were arranging a taxi for a colleague heading to Canberra Airport after a client catch-up.
For many people, the ride itself is simple. It’s everything around the trip that can take time. Booking the ride, knowing when the car will arrive, confirming the fare and keeping a clear record of expenses can quickly turn a short trip into another task on your list.
That’s why the taxi service you rely on matters. Across Canberra, many workplaces rely on 13cabs to help organise work travel more easily. Here’s why it’s widely considered the best option for work-related taxi rides.
Real-time tracking that gives you peace of mind
With GPS-based real-time tracking, you can see exactly where your 13cabs taxi is once the booking is confirmed. Instead of waiting outside or guessing the arrival time, you can check the car’s location on your phone and head down when it’s nearby.
This feature also makes it easier when you’re organising transport for someone else. If a colleague or visiting client needs a ride to another meeting or appointment, you can see when the trip has started and check when they’ve arrived. This helps you keep track of the journey without needing to message for updates, which helps keep work travel running smoothly.
The option to lock in your fare before the ride
One feature that makes 13cabs taxi for business the most trusted option for work travel is the option to lock in your fare before the trip begins. Whether you’re travelling between meetings, offices or event venues, knowing the price upfront makes planning much easier.
Instead of waiting until the ride ends to see the total, you can confirm the fare at the time of booking. Once the price is set, it stays the same for the trip as long as the destination and route remain unchanged, even if traffic builds up along the way.
To lock in a fixed fare with 13cabs, you simply:
- Enter your pickup location and destination in the 13cabs App or website
- Choose whether you want the ride now or schedule it for later by selecting the date and time
- Select the Fixed Price option shown before confirming the ride
- Add a card and confirm the booking
As long as the destination and route stay the same, the fare will remain the same even during peak periods, heavy traffic or late-night travel.
Round-the-clock bookings for work beyond 9 to 5
Some work trips happen outside regular office hours. You might be heading to an early meeting, leaving a late event or organising transport for someone finishing a shift.
With 13cabs, you can arrange a ride whenever you need it, which makes it much easier to plan work travel around your schedule instead of trying to fit it into limited transport hours.
To book a taxi, you can:
- Use the 13cabs App to book a ride now or schedule one for later
- Book through the 13cabs website and choose the pickup time that suits your schedule
- Call the 13cabs contact centre on 13 22 27 to arrange your ride over the phone
