GO CARZ INCREASES PRIVATE HIRE DOMINANCE IN THE WEST MIDLANDS BY TAKING OVER TWO FIRMS
Veezu, the parent company of Go Carz, has taken over Shrewsbury Taxis and Oswestry Cars. The Shropshire Star reports that their drivers and cus- tomers were informed by the company via text message.

Cars in Telford. That move meant the Telford Go Carz fleet increased to 650. Go Carz operates across the West Mid- lands. The firm says it “is committed to giving all passengers the highest quality ser- vice. We are constantly improving our technology to make your journey from the moment you book, till you arrive at your destination.”
