About Go Green Taxis

Go Green Taxis aim to reduce carbon emissions and save you money, whilst providing a first class taxi service. We employ environmentally friendlier alternatives throughout our whole business practice to reduce the impact our business has on the environment.
We have found that cutting down on waste and being more efficient with our resources has saved us money. We believe that if we can save money then those savings should be, and are, passed on to our customers. Going Green has saved us money and it will save you money too.

We do more than just say we are “Green” with a dedicated #GoGreenEcoSquad we dig deep and plant trees with local schools and community projects, use eco-friendly vehicles, use ethical and environmental resources and go the extra mile to ensure we do more!

Our History

Go Green Taxis was launched as Didcot’s 1st green taxi service in October 2009 and was founded by Mike Hatter and Mark John. Offering a unique, personal and first-class service with a strong commitment to helping reduce CO2 emissions has proved popular – “The Taxi that doesn’t cost the Earth!”. This ethos has made us the key player we are today.

Our team

With multi-skilled office staff and a fleet of highly trained drivers at the forefront of our business, this has truly set us apart from other Taxi and Private Hire firms. This has been noticed and rewarded with multiple awards from industry experts such as The Professional Driver Magazine QSi Awards where we have won Private Hire Company of the Year (1-80 vehicles) for 2015, 2016 and 2017!
