In London alone, 10 women are attacked each month after getting into an unlicensed mini-cab. No wonder that many women feel safer taking a taxi driven by a woman.
Pink Ladies spotted a business opportunity, and created the UK's first women-only private car hire franchise. The Pink Ladies drive Renault Kangoos that are pink inside and out, making them highly visible. Passengers sign up as members, and fares are either pre-paid, paid by credit card or with a 'pink account', which is both convenient for members and safe for drivers.
Booking is done over the phone, and a text message is sent to the customer to let her know the vehicle is approaching, which means she doesn't have to wait outside. Drivers are trained in self-defense and will wait outside a customer's home after a drop-off to ensure she gets in safely. Promoting safety and reducing risk for women – the Pink Ladies concept should work well anywhere!

i am soo excited about this even though i am currently living in the states. which lead me to the idea that your business should be flourished enough to go global.. like the US and Canada. personally right now i am without a car and have to take cabs to work and even school sometimes and im always worried that im going to be the prey of a predator one of these days. just roll the idea around im sure im not the only one who thinks this way.
i thank you sincerely for what you guys have created.
this is amazing!!! i live in the US so please go globally! i have been a victim of males my entire life.
thank you!
