Reliability

When Eureka Taxis launched in Q4 2020, our market research showed that customers where being left stranded with booked taxis not showing up leaving the customers stranded.

 With Eureka Taxis we want to put our customers fears at ease. We offer multiple ways of booking a taxi no matter of its for an evening out, medical appointments or personal leisure we will also show up. If in the event we are delayed, we will contact you.

When booking with us you are provided a link once the driver has accepted the job to be able to track the driver.

So remember when you need to travel choose the company that is locally owned and operated.

Customer Service

When under taking our market research in Q4 2020, Eureka Taxis found that there was very poor customer service being delivered to the customers looking for taxis. This was either a local dispatcher answering the phone that was rude and nasty or a call centre based out of Melbourne that did not know or understand Ballarat

When Eureka Taxis started one of our first orders of business was to change this by setting up our own dispatch and operations centre and employing local people that know Ballarat.

This operations centre is operated 7 days a week between 8AM – 9PM Monday – Thursday and on Friday / Saturday the centre is open between 8AM – 1AM. Outside these hours drivers answer the phone and take bookings

After each shift all our drivers clean both the inside and outside of their vehicles to ensure that the vehicles are clean and tidy for our passengers and ready for the next drivers shift. Gone are the days of getting into a dirty and smelly cab with Eureka Taxis.

Vehicle Safety

Vehicle safety is paramount to the success of our business and our ability to continue to grow and expand our business to service our community. We understand that our passengers only deserve the best service in Ballarat.

This is why Eureka Taxis strives constantly to push the envelope further and offer modem and safe vehicles all with 5 star ancap safety ratings.

Each of our vehicles is regularly inspected for defects so as to ensure that the vehicles are safe to operate as commercial passenger vehicles. Eureka Taxis Western Victoria takes safety very seriously.

Local Dispatchers

When under taking our market research in Q4 2020, Eureka Taxis found that when booking a taxi with one of our competitors they where speaking to an automated system or to a dispatcher based out of Ballarat and that the person answering the phone was eithor very rude or did not know Ballarat

When Eureka Taxis started one of our first orders of business was to change this by setting up our own dispatch and operations centre and employing local people that know Ballarat.

This operations centre is operated 7 days a week between 8AM – 9PM Monday – Thursday and on Friday / Saturday the centre is open between 8AM – 1AM. Outside these hours drivers answer the phone and take bookings

Never will you ever speak to an automated machine… EVER!

I called Eureka Taxi on a Sunday (early)morning after a breakdown on my motorcycle, a fair distance from home.They were there as promised and got me home no problem at all fair price.Far better option than calling the wife at that time of the day!
Always friendly staff
Ebony from Eureka Taxis ( Ballarat ) was extremely helpful with the trip.As it turned out Ebony was a little late with picking us up as a consequence Ebony made up for this by not charging us for our trip with, we were extremely grateful for not only Ebony’s ownership of the matter but to make up for it in the manner that she did was outstanding.Ebony, was extremely caring, much appreciated.We have caught a taxi 5 times now with Ebony & I cannot think of a driver I would want to book a taxi with other than Ebony.In this day and age Ebony is an extreme rarity.We hope that Eureka Taxi service realises how valuable an employee we see Ebony as customer.RegardsPaul Hamilton & Jay McMasters

Taxi service in Ballarat is wonderful Damien was polite helpful and interesting to talk too have used your Maxi cabs with a friend who I come to stay with those drivers are great too especially when the client is in a wheel chair😊

Excellent service very efficient,clean taxi.Very polite driver.
Sadly over charged after confirming price upon booking a taxi. Both collections from each location were 30 minutes past confirmed booking times however all sorted by a very understanding operations manager who took ownership of performance and applied a discount.
Response from the owner: Hi Jamie,Thanks for the chat on the phone right now. I apologize for your frustration. I will be addressing it internally with my staff to ensure that this does not happen again. As mentioned on the phone the wrong tariff was used by my staff when quoting / making your booking. You asked for 6 people which is a maxi tariff and the price that was quoted from my staff was for 4 passengers which is a totally different tariff. In relation to being late i can only apologise and hope that next time is a better experience. If you would like to reach out to us any further please send us an email using admin@etwv.com.au Thanks M.B
Arrived exactly on time, taxi was clean, driver was friendly and knew the town well. Highly recommend this service.
