This Manchester taxi company will do shopping pickups and drop-offs for anyone self-isolating – and it’s free for over 65s

During these turbulent times, we’re seeing an increase in people and businesses looking to do the right thing, and offer a helping hand to the more vulnerable members of society. 

This can be as simple as offering up your place in the queue at a supermarket to someone who needs it more, and making sure your neighbours are ok. 

Manchester’s leading taxi firm Street Cars have gone a step further than most.

They’ve announced that not only are they willing to do shopping pickups and drop-offs for anyone self-isolating or in quarantine, and not only this they will do this for free for anyone over the age of 65. 

So if you’re concerned about the impact of coronavirus on your ability to buy much-needed supplies, you can rely on Street Cars to get you where you need to get to, quickly, safely and with minimal fuss. 

Street Cars has been a reliable fixture in Manchester for almost two decades, earning a reputation for providing a professional taxi service to the people of the city. This saw them named as the official private hire taxi partner at Manchester Airport last year, expanding to 800 drivers across the region and providing 120 jobs. 

They also have a range of vehicles available for all needs, including hybrid vehicles, people carriers and executive Mercedes models with free WiFi and the day’s paper. 

You’re in safe hands with Street Cars. They’re woven into the fabric of Manchester and care about the people who make up this great city.
