This is a commercial collaboration with 13cabs.

As the summer holiday period beckons, Australians are starting to plan their getaways and setting the (literal) gears in motion for a seamless time away with friends and family.

Whether your summer travel plans take you to scintillating Queensland or to the mountainous terrains of the Blue Mountains, you'll need to consider how to get from A to B during your stay in order to truly maximise your holiday time.

Many travellers may opt for the hire car option, particularly when it comes to airport transfers, but the other option worth considering is 13cabs. Hailing a cab to-and-from the airport or hotel means you won't have to worry about parking and will be guaranteed door-to-door service without the added paperwork or petrol costs.

With 10,000 cabs all across the country, 13cabs is Australia's largest and most trusted premium ride service with rides available at every major airport. Here are five reasons why you should book with the fleet for your upcoming summer trip and beyond!

Affordable, premium service

13cabs prides itself on its affordable and premium service. The most popular service allows up to four passengers in a standard sedan with the option of calling a MAXI TAXI for larger groups. Wheelchair accessible taxis (WAV's) and airport transfers are also available for those who seek additional services. An extra perk of 13cabs is its parcel delivery service, perfect for any gifts or emergency packages that you might need delivered straight to you during your time away.

Professional drivers

When riding with 13cabs, you can take comfort in the fact that your Driver has your well-being and comfort front-of-mind. All 13cabs Drivers take pride in their professionalism and are experts in getting you around a new town or city. Not only that, if you find a Driver you like, you can save them in the 13cabs app and request them for future trips, just like having your own chauffeur on holidays. All Drivers are police checked, and are trained to understand how to use our security and safety features.

The ride you want in one tap with the 13cabs App

Downloading the 13cabs app makes for hassle-free travelling including on-the-spot bookings, advance reservations, easy cancellations, and real-time tracking. Not only that, but you can use the app to estimate your fare and share your trip with others. Their top rated app is an easy download - in the Apple App Store-and a real riding requisite! (The 13cabs app is also available for Android).

Sanitisation

Sanitisation is a number one priority for the 13cabs team. In March this year, the company launched a nationwide, industry-leading sanitisation program covering both internal and external points of each vehicle and thorough detailing inside the cabin itself. The program has been extended and continues now and into the future for the peace of mind of all passengers. The program is free for all Drivers to access.

Loads of choice

Just to make your life even easier, 13cabs provides multiple methods to book and pay for your ride. You can just step out of your hotel when you're ready and hail a 13cabs or book via the app, website or call. When it comes to payment, you can choose from contactless credit cards and Cabcharge, or load multiple payment methods including Apple Pay and Google Pay via the app so you won't need to worry about carrying the right change.

Servicing cities and towns in every state of Australia with the strongest network coverage, it's easy to get a ride with Australia's favourite ride service at your holiday destination. For more information and to make a booking, download the 13cabs app now or visit 13cabs.com.au
