Excellent service!

We have received high rating for our service in the Alps provided by Oskars Manfelds and Vitalijs Galilejevs: "Hi guys, despite not having an Austrian phone number your service was great. The drivers were polite, knowledgable and we felt completely safe in their hands, no white knuckle rides. Please pass on our thanks to Oscar who picked us up from Innsbruck and our driver who returned us this morning. Sorry I forget his name. Should we need this service in the future we will book you with confidence." Mick B. / 28.1.2015

Cabbies Keep Uber, Addison Lee Out of Bus Lanes

 

Private car-hire services suffered a legal setback yesterday as the European Union’s top court backed the exclusive right of London’s iconic black cabs to share some traffic lanes with buses.

Judges at the EU Court of Justice in Luxembourg said rules favouring the black cabs are legal because of differences between the services, including black cabs’ ability to pick up passengers that hail them without a booking. The ruling will be a blow to the Addison Lee unit that brought the challenge and other black-cab rivals, such as Uber Technologies.

A unit of Addison Lee, which operates more than 4,800 cars in central London, filed the lawsuit in today’s case seeking the right of its drivers to also get access to the fast-track routes, which only buses and licensed black cabs can use.

Addison Lee and Uber declined to comment on today’s ruling. Transport for London, the city’s transport agency, didn’t immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment.

A London court sought the EU tribunal’s view on whether excluding private taxi companies from using the lanes is illegal state aid. The Addison Lee unit sued in London after some of their drivers were fined for using bus lanes, arguing the prohibition violated the freedom to provide services and was illegal state aid to black cabs.

The EU ruling will be reviewed by London judges before the U.K. court issues a final decision in the case.

"Добрый день! Хочу выразить огромную благодарность сотруднику вашей компании , к сожалению, известно только его имя - Иварс, фамилию не знаю. Дело в том, что он осуществлял трансфер нашей компании из Женевы в Валь д'Эзер 27.12.2014, нас было 12 человек , а том числе двое маленьких деток, огромный багаж на прицепе, 14(!) часов Иварс мужественно вез нас по жуткой пробке, в ужасных дорожных условиях! С готовностью решал текущие бытовые проблемы! Большое спасибо, Иварс, Вы - настоящий профессионал! С уважением от всей нашей компании,
 Елена"

Thank you Ivars for the excellent job!

We spent 11 hours travelling just 40 km down the mountain then the extra hour on to Chambery where he ensured we found the emergency accommodation. He was courteous, friendly and helpful at all times. A great credit to your company."
