The last few years have been a tumultuous, complicated time for many of us. Between pandemics, wars and global climate emergencies, there’s not been much you can rely on. That is, except for the taxi industry. Even throughout the lockdown, Aberdeen Taxi drivers were transporting passengers to appointments, to supermarkets and pharmacies for supplies, and even transporting vital blood and other essential supplies to hospitals, GPs and everywhere that needed items delivered.

Aberdeen Taxis operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year servicing the needs of residents and visitors to the great city of Aberdeen.

You could be a part of that essential infrastructure that keeps Aberdeen running, no matter the global events that surround the city.

As a driver, you can also choose to be self-employed, where you keep all your earnings and pay a fee to use a taxi operator’s platform for passenger bookings etc. Being self-employed means, you can choose when and how much you work, giving you greater freedom.
