Every woman knows the drill. You leave the restaurant, concert, work function, or girls’ night out, and the goodbye hugs are quickly followed by ‘message me when you’re home’ and ‘share your location’.
It’s become so normal that we hardly question it anymore. But the truth is, getting home safely shouldn’t require a group chat, a live location pin, and 3 friends staying awake until 01:00.
This women’s month, we’re celebrating confidence, independence, and the freedom to enjoy life without compromising your safety. That’s where king’s cab comes in.
Your night out shouldn’t end with worry
Let’s be honest, sometimes the biggest dilemma after a night out isn’t what time you’re leaving, it’s figuring out how you’re getting home.
Maybe you had 1 glass of wine that turned into 2, or maybe you’re simply tired or don’t feel comfortable driving alone at night. With king’s cab, you don’t have to choose between your safety and convenience.
Here’s how it works:
- Book your king’s cab on our app, the self-service portal or simply call 0860 50 50 50 and follow the prompts.
- 1 of our professional drivers will drive you home in your own car, and another will follow in their car.
- You can bring up to 2 friends along for the ride, provided you’re all travelling to the same place.
- You’ll need to have comprehensive car insurance with King Price to use king’s cab.
- You can pre-book for a specific time.
- You get 6 trips in any 12-month period.
No debates with your friends about who should drive, no convincing yourself that you’re ‘probably fine’ after that last glass of wine, and no next-day mission trying to remember where you left your car. Just a smart decision, a safe ride home, and future-you feeling very grateful.
We’ve done our homework on every driver
For many women, getting home isn’t the only consideration. Knowing who’s behind the wheel can be just as important. King’s cab takes that concern seriously. That’s why every driver undergoes a strict assessment and vetting process before they’re allowed behind the wheel.
Our driver safety checks include:
- Verification of a valid driver’s licence and Public Driving Permit (PDP).
- Criminal background checks.
- Drivers must be at least 25 years old.
- Minimum of 5 years’ driving experience.
- Practical road tests to assess driving competency.
- Random alcohol and substance abuse screenings.
- Mandatory branded uniforms for easy identification.
These measures help ensure every trip is handled by experienced, professional drivers you can trust.
Safety doesn’t clock out at midnight
The vetting process is only the beginning. King’s cab drivers are monitored through a 24-hour Taxi Caller Dispatch System, providing:
- Real-time trip tracking.
- Driver monitoring.
- Operational oversight.
- Ongoing safety management.
Driver performance is continuously assessed through client feedback, service reviews, and complaint management processes. In other words, accountability doesn’t end once a driver gets the job.
Ready when you need us
Around 95% of king’s cab drivers now operate independently and are dispatched directly from their homes. This means:
- Faster response times.
- Better coverage across service areas.
- Improved efficiency.
- Reduced waiting periods.
Because standing outside alone at night while waiting for transport isn’t anyone’s idea of a good time.
Rather be safe than sorry
Many people assume they’re fine to drive after ‘just 1 drink’. The reality is that even a single drink can put you over the legal blood alcohol limit.
Instead of wondering whether you’re okay to drive, you can make the safer choice for yourself, your passengers, and everyone else on the road.
