For Private Hire only
We have uber,
why do we need JIFFYit?
Choosing JIFFYit means backing a local business committed to our community. By ensuring our drivers receive a larger share of every fare, we’re keeping the local economy moving forward—one ride at a time.​​
Using an international firm often means out of town drivers weakening the local economy. Also, drivers only receive part of the fare you pay, the rest is syphoned off as commission to overseas companies.
Uber riders are funding tycoons in other countries.
With JIFFYit, there’s no surge pricing, fares are compatible with other local taxi firms.​​​
Uber is rapidly lowering prices to dominate the market, while attractive to passengers in the short term, poses a serious threat to the sustainability of community-driven operators. Once these local competitors are squeezed out, fare hikes are almost inevitable, leaving riders with fewer choices and less favourable conditions.
