Family-friendly transport service making it safe and easy to get to and from the airport.

Anyone who’s taken a plane trip with small children knows what a logistical nightmare it can be. It starts with the trip to the airport, with most people opting for expensive long-term parking, or being forced to travel by taxi or rideshare without the appropriate child restraints.

Family Cab provides parents with a safe, reliable and affordable alternative.

Parents-of-three Lewis and Mel Cann identified the need while operating Perth Designated Drivers, a service that transports people in their own cars.

“We were seeing an increase in bookings from families with young kids. It’s difficult to get a taxi with a car seat, and bringing your own is rarely practical. They were finding the easiest thing to do was get someone else to drive their car – something we’ve been doing since 2010.”

“We decided to start a small fleet of cabs catering to the needs of families, and it has been a huge hit!”

Family Cab offers the option of being driven in your own car or one of theirs – fully equipped with Type A4 baby car seats or Type G child booster seats.

Since launching in October 2016, the Canns have been surprised at how popular the service has been – with both Perth families and those visiting from interstate. They’ve already had to expand their vehicle fleet and have just begun a service in Sydney.

To make the process even easier for parents, FamilyCab has an online booking system and an Android/ios App, where you can track the live progress of your driver. You can also get a quote via the website.
