Airporter 131 008

A big holiday normally means a big load of suitcases, and often it's to much for a standard cab to carry. That's when there's no substitute for a station wagon. To the airport or any other destination, call 131 008 for a Silver Top Airporter.
   
Green Tops

These are officially known as “Peak Service” vehicles and are distinguishable by the green roof and for this reason we refer to them as “Green Tops” and have registered the name accordingly. They can be further identified by the Number plate and the decal affixed to the rear door, four digits followed by the letters “PS”.

They have restricted hours of operation in that they may not accept hire, be it a radio booking or street hail, prior to 3.00pm or after 7.00am. They are permitted to complete a job taken prior to 7.00am.

The Government intend issuing 25 of these licences every three months for the next several years. Of those issued to date, around two thirds have opted to join Silver Tops.
