YOU CARRIED OUT NDING REVIEW”?
at a phone bill, you will probably be con- fused!! If you have approached your cur- rent provider for improved rates, they can be quite inflexible and may only be inter- ested in making you agree to sign a long- term telephone contract for calls and line rental. This is how their sales people are targeted and it is not in your best interest in most cases!
Also, their marketing department can be very clever, tempting you with great sound- ing things like ‘capped calls’ where you never pay more than ten- pence for a call. Whilst this sounds excellent, the reality is that your average call lasts under two minutes anyway and you will pay much more for shorter calls due to their set-up fees!
Buyers beware!!
Remember there is no great upheaval of your services. The engineer in the Openreach van still installs your lines. You still connect using your existing phones. What changes is that you pay less and now have a partner with whom you can con- nect directly into your Telco’s Wholesale operation. Because to be honest, they would rather deal with Billing Wizard than an end user and that is part of the value we add for them.
Alternatively just call Billing Wizard on FREEPHONE 0800 610 2100 and let us do it for you. Why wait? You have nothing to lose and money to save.

NICK TAYLOR IS DELIGHTED TO JOIN THE CABCARD UK TEAM
Nick Taylor is delighted to join the CabCard UK Team, dedicated to develop card payment business within the UK Taxi Industry.
CabCard Services pro- vide card payment processing which is required by today’s fast moving taxi fleets and at the same time introduce a completely new and recurring rev- enue stream to the fleet operator.
Fleet managers are increasingly aware that the travelling public prefer the option to pay for their fares safely and securely by card, whether face to face chip & PIN or securely over the Internet. It makes sense for those passengers who have less cash in their pock- ets and also for the taxi fleet operator who can conclude more sub- stantial business from the significant num- bers of cardholders.
Business and corpo- rate customers are demanding they use a card rather than their own cash to pay for taxi fares to avoid claiming back money from their company with the delays and complications this brings.
CabCard offer the complete service by taking care of all the necessary administra- tion, payments to drivers and regulatory and compliance mat- ters. A driver can use an ‘in vehicle’ chip & PIN terminal to take fare payments with the taxi office relying upon secure online web bookings to increase revenues and busi- ness. In all cases customer convenience is enhanced and a more professional image portrayed by the taxi fleet.
CabCard provide a painless service for
Nick Taylor
fleet operators by man- aging card payments from passengers’ cred- it or debit cards, to settling drivers’ fares and tips into drivers’ own bank accounts each week and gener- ating a proportion of the processing fee for the fleet operator as a new and recurring rev- enue stream.
CabCard transaction processes are PCI (Payment Card Indus- try) compliant and the service is approved by
Transport for London Public Carriage Office and other UK licensing authorities.
For more details on how your fleet can benefit from the Cab- Card service please call 0845 491 8410 or email service@pay-

PEUGEOT E7™ GIVEN THE THUMBS UP IN EDINBURGH BY HACKNEY DRIVER GARY
Gary McIntosh, a hackney driver from Edinburgh, has recently taken delivery of his new Peugeot E7™ taxi – his second E7™ since becoming a cabbie seven years ago.
Commenting on why he chose to go for another of the pur- pose-built favourites from Cab Direct, Gary says: “In my second year of taxiing I made the change to an E7 and I’ve never looked back. When I decided it was time to change my vehicle earlier this year, Cab Direct was my first port of call. Their vehicles and their aftersales service are first class.”
Gary continues: “I also had a look Cab Direct’s Mercedes

hackney which has loads going for it too but in the end, the E7’s wheelchair accessible ramp was the clincher. It couldn’t be quicker or easier to use.” One of the biggest plus points about the E7™ for Gary is its fuel economy.
He com-
ments: “When I changed over to the E7, one of the first
NOVEMBER 2010 PHTM
things I noticed was how much I was sav- ing on diesel. For a hackney cab the fuel efficiency is fantastic.” As pioneers in diesel technology since 1928, it’s not surpris- ing that Peugeot have mastered the blend of performance and economy. Powered by the latest generation of diesel engine, the
Peugeot E7™ is huge- ly efficient, allowing you to work longer and earn more on one tank of fuel than with other black cabs. This fantastic econo- my combines with superb performance to make E7’s 2.0 litre HDi engine perfect for both driveability and responsiveness. When you’re spend- ing long hours behind the wheel, the impor- tance of comfort quickly becomes apparent. After all, your vehicle is in effect your office. As such, the Peugeot E7™ has been designed with driver comfort very much front of mind. With its top specification dri- ver’s seat, with height and tilt adjustment
and additional lumbar support, you’re sure to find the perfect driving position. E7’s multi-function heater and air conditioning system mean you’ll also be able to find your ideal working temperature – perfect! For optimum conven- ience the E7™ also comes with one-touch electric windows, steering wheel mount- ed audio controls and numerous handy stor- age areas, including a centre console, allow- ing you to keep your driving space clutter free. There’s even a dash mounted cup holder so you can enjoy a steaming hot cuppa on the move. Gary says: “The com- fort in the E7 is absolutely fantastic –
both for the driver and for the passengers. The amount of space in the back is superb. Six customers can easily travel in com- fort, even with a full luggage load. In fact, quite often customers specifically want to travel in the E7 for that extra bit of space.” So, whether it’s access, space, com- fort or economy, the Peugeot E7™ has it all.
