Eye Cab Limited was set up by Dave Humphreys back in 2012 who added a modern twist to his Birkenhead-based hackney cab firm, enabling passengers to track their movements and keep loved ones informed of their location.

Eye Cab Taxi company was one of the first in the country to have its very own app – allowing passengers to find the nearest cab’s availability and speak directly to the driver of their choice.

The previous app was all about safety you could speak directly to the driver and you can choose which vehicle you want. It gives peace and mind to our customers and keeps a track on where each cab is.

Through further development safety has become paramount as the government introduced cross boarder hiring our app now lets the user inform two family members they have entered the cab and allows them to be tracked to their destination.

Cross Boarder hiring allows vehicles from areas outside Wirral to operate within our county this has an impact on the local economy as well as safety as outside interests trade in the Wirral and support the area they live with the cash received from the Wirral.

Eye Cab drivers live in and support their local community and its economy helping keep local people employed along with providing the details our app provides the local authorities to keep you safe.

As well as providing added security and peace of mind, the app – which was inspired by the popular Plane Finder app – also proves useful for those who may have become a little lost.

Using the GPS from your mobile the app informs the driver of where you are this is helpful when you are in an area you are unsure of.

Eye Cab is now the largest Hackney Cab company throughout Wirral and Liverpool, in the event a number of vehicles turn up at a venue the app confirms your booking with driver and vehicle details along with a call back when the vehicle has arrived to ensure your vehicle has not been taken by another customer, once the vehicle has been booked the option to speak directly to the driver is available.

Each journey you make is stored in the app’s history, allowing you to look back and see which vehicle you used and when – handy if you have left something valuable behind, a receipt is automatically sent to your email address for business.
