Out & About is a Private Hire Taxi Service for the residents of Felixstowe and the surrounding areas. We aim to offer something a little bit different and want everybody, regardless of their ability, to be able to use a flexible and friendly service.
What makes us unique to Felixstowe is that we have a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle and can also provide companionship to those that need it. We understand that for some, a taxi is only half of the picture. Our companion service is there for those that might need some assistance or to be accompanied once they arrive at their destination. Whether someone has mild to moderate dementia or has lost some of the mobility they once had, we don’t want that to stop you from getting out and about and going about your daily lives.
People use the companion service in many different ways:
-
Some need assistance with their weekly shop. We will take you round and assist with the shop, even putting it away once you get home if you like.
-
Some may be attending a wedding or a funeral and want us to be their chaperone for the day.
-
Some may want us to accompany a family member to a hospital appointment, perhaps if they cannot attend themselves. We can relay relevant information back to the family if required.
-
Some have a four-legged, furry family member that has to visit the vets. If you’re unable to take them yourself and do not want to miss the appointment, our pet-friendly drivers can ensure they get the care that they need.
