Corporate Taxi Accounts: How Lancashire Businesses Save Time and Money

Business Travel Across Lancashire Is Broken

If your company has staff travelling between offices, visiting clients, or heading to Manchester Airport on a regular basis, you already know the pain. Mileage claims that take weeks to process. Staff hunting for parking in Blackburn town centre. Rental cars sitting idle half the week. Expense receipts that never quite add up.

There is a simpler way.

What a Corporate Account Actually Gives You

A Ride Taxis corporate account is not a loyalty card. It is a proper business tool:

• Consolidated monthly invoicing — one bill, all journeys, every receipt itemised
• Fixed fares agreed upfront — no meter anxiety, no surge pricing, no surprises
• Multiple users under one account — your whole team books through the app, billed to the company
• Priority booking — corporate accounts get matched to the nearest available driver first
• Journey reporting — download a full breakdown of who went where, when, and how much it cost
• 24/7 availability — early morning flights, late-night client dinners, weekend site visits — all covered

Who Uses Corporate Accounts?

Every kind of Lancashire business, honestly:

Solicitors and Accountants

Staff travelling between offices in Burnley, Blackburn, and Preston. Client meetings across the Ribble Valley. Court appearances in Manchester. Fixed fares mean you can bill travel costs to the client with confidence.

NHS and Healthcare

Locum doctors and agency nurses moving between Royal Blackburn Hospital, Burnley General, and Accrington Victoria. Patient transport where standard ambulance services are not appropriate. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles available on every booking.

Construction and Engineering

Site managers covering multiple projects across East Lancashire. Tool-heavy vehicles for site visits. Early starts and late finishes that do not fit public transport timetables.

Recruitment Agencies

Candidates need to get to interviews. Temps need to reach sites. A corporate account means your candidates arrive on time, every time — and you control the cost.

Schools and Colleges

Staff travel between campuses. Student transport for trips and events. DBS-checked drivers on every booking — no exceptions.

The Numbers That Matter

Here are some common business routes across Lancashire:

• Burnley to Preston — from around £22, approximately 25 minutes
• Blackburn to Manchester Airport — from around £50, approximately 50 minutes
• Nelson to Accrington — from around £14, approximately 15 minutes
• Clitheroe to Burnley — from around £16, approximately 20 minutes
• Preston to Lancaster — from around £28, approximately 25 minutes

All fares are fixed at booking. No meters. No surprises. Monthly invoices with full journey breakdowns make expenses simple.

How It Compares to the Alternatives

Company Cars

Average cost: £400-600 per month per vehicle, plus fuel, insurance, maintenance, and parking. A corporate taxi account costs nothing until you use it, and you only pay for the journeys you take.

Staff Mileage Claims

45p per mile for the first 10,000 miles. A 30-mile return trip to a client costs £13.50 in mileage — plus the admin time to process it, the wear on the employee's car, and the 45 minutes they spent stuck in traffic instead of working. A taxi costs roughly the same and lets them make calls, answer emails, or prepare for the meeting on the way.

Rental Cars

£40-80 per day, plus fuel, plus insurance excess. Unless someone is driving 200 miles, a taxi is almost always cheaper — and nobody has to return the car.
