Dragon Taxis, South Wales’ largest private hire and taxi firm, has acquired A2B Taxis in Barry to extend its service into the Vale of Glamorgan.

The acquisition will see Dragon Taxis partner with an additional 150 vehicles across Barry and the Vale of Glamorgan. Operating under the existing and well-known Dragon Taxis brand, the deal provides A2B Taxis' drivers and their passengers a larger fleet to call on.

Residents and businesses in the Vale of Glamorgan will hope to benefit from increased capacity, plus a greater choice of ways to book and pay for journeys.

Passengers can still make a booking by using the existing telephone numbers for A2B Taxis. However, the A2B Taxis mobile app is no longer available, instead passengers can use the Dragon Taxis booking app, available for both Android and Apple devices.

The A2B Taxis driver-partners will get access to new technology and will also have the option to subscribe to a vehicle hire agreement, accident management service, and a vehicle insurance policy.

Dragon Taxis is owned by transportation technology innovators Veezu Group, which is based in Newport, South Wales. Veezu has four other major service hubs throughout the UK, each operating under established local brands – A2B Radio Cars in the West Midlands, Amber Cars in Leeds, Go Carz in Shropshire and V Cars in the South West.

Jack Price, Regional Director, said: “We are delighted to welcome A2B Taxis’ drivers and their passengers to Dragon Taxis. Not only will the acquisition enhance service levels for residents and businesses across the Vale of Glamorgan, but it will also bridge our coverage between our existing operating areas of Cardiff and Bridgend.”
