Penticton residents now have an eco-friendly option when they want to take a cab.

My son and I had a great first experience using this local business today. The driver arrived when he said he would and didnt appear that I was keeping him from something more important as I installed the car seat. He was very professional and affable. When he returned us to our home, the ride ended up costing less than what I was quoted, and both of my daughters were asking for more rides in the green car!! Well be using you again in the future. Thank you
