Dear Customers,
After nearly 18 months of toughing out the Global Financial Crisis and other difficulties, VHA Corporate Cabs have had to conduct a price review. This is CODE for a price increase! We have raised our prices by an average of 8.5% and then rounded up or down.
This has been caused by many factors. They are, ( not in any particular order of importance or size )
- Traffic delays and parking issues at Melbourne Airport
- Traffic delays in Melbourne in general - Both these issues are causing our cars to do several jobs per day less as it takes longer to finish a job and then we have to allow a longer lead time to be at the next pick up ON TIME.
- Fuel increase
- Toll increase
- General expense increase in leasing and maintenance.
- A shortage of capable drivers to complement our long term regular drivers.
But the good news is that we are taking this opportunity to get rid off the credit card service fee of 11% Proffessor Alan Fels tried to remove some time ago but it has stuck in the Taxi and Hire Car industry See our original Payment Options tab or click here.
We have tried to be upfront and transparent regarding this extra charge but we are tired of complaints re. this charge.
If we quote and charge the previous old price, then the credit card service fee still applies. The removal of the fee only applies to the new price rise.
WE HAVE INCLUDED THE SERVICE FEE IN OUR PRICE RISE. But you must pre-pay through our office! (not applicable for in car payments)
But, the GST is now added after our price. Business travel get the GST back as a 100% credit. But private travel does not, HOWEVER, we will do deals for all customers to assist in their private and holiday travel
We are still trying hard to stay in-between the taxis and other Hire Car companies, but this is becoming more difficult each year.
Please stay with us if you are a regular client and please try us if you are just browsing or looking.
Yours Sincerely, your VHA Team |
