Free taxi offer for over-80s with vaccine appointments

A TAXI company is offering free transport to passengers aged 80-plus attending Covid-19 vaccine appointments.

Budget Taxis, which operates in Newcastle and North Tyneside, is making the scheme available from Monday for use by the over-80s who have already received vaccine appointments.

They must quote “free taxi” when booking, which must be made 24-hours in advance of the vaccination appointment, subject to availability.

There is also a contactless app, which allows passengers to book, track and pay for the taxi, all by your phone, reducing the need for cash contact.

Budget Taxi owner, Mohammed Suleman, said: “It’s a priority to everyone that the elderly receive their vaccines, so we want to make sure they’re getting there in the safest way possible.

“We will make sure you arrive safely, for free.”

Further information on the terms and conditions is available from Budget Taxis, on 0191-298 5050.
