Cabmania

Gone are the days of being fleeced by irate cabbies! In a reversal of the existing model, Cabmania allows you to receive bids on your cab ride from registered taxi and private hire companies. No more calling round local firms searching for the best deal - let the best fare come to you. To date, Cabmania has secured savings of up to 70% for its customers. And the service creates new custom for the cab drivers too. Founder Golan Shay has devised a simple business model for his start-up: Cabmania takes 10% of the fare. The website launched in November 2010 and there are already 15,000 registered customers seeking quotes from the hundreds of featured taxi firms. An app is in the offing to make booking on the go even easier and Golan is currently on the hunt for investment to expand further afield.

  • Reversal of current model for taxi bookings
  • Scalable business proposition
  • Generating savings for customers and increasing revenue for cab companies
