Cheadle-headquartered taxi technology company Autocab has announced a partnership with Austrian taxi software provider FMS.
The partnership will expand the reach of Autocab’s iGo network across Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Benelux regions. iGo was launched in 2017 and allows private hire firms to share fares with other companies on the network when their own fleet is unable to fulfil a booking.
Safa Alkateb (above), CEO at Autocab, said: “This partnership has created one of the largest fleets of private hire vehicles and taxis in Europe. It is giving travellers a huge amount of choice through an app familiar to them.
“When they arrive in another city or country, they don’t need to worry about researching local firms – they can simply source a trip using a trusted firm that is partnered with the iGo network.”
The partnership will give passengers access to 150,000 cars across more than 400 cities, as far apart as Gdansk, Malaga, Kiev and Lisbon. Last summer, Autocab announced it had clocked up its three bilionth booking via its cloud-based software.
