The Local Rag catches up with local ride service, Raglan Rides.
Describe your new business
Raglan Rides is an affordable transport option to and from Hamilton, and Auckland. We can also cater to private events.
How did you arrive at the decision to venture into a transport business?
We saw a gap in the market for a taxi service in our Raglan
What has been involved with setting it up?
We bought a brand new Toyota Prius hybrid, and obtained all the proper licensing.
We then set up a simple website, and posted some flyers detailing our rates and services.
Who might your services appeal to?
We are hoping to appeal to small groups of up to 4 passengers. Groups of people travelling from Auckland/Hamilton airport, or perhaps just need a sober driver.
What hours will you be running?
We will be running at all hours of the day or night. Pre booking is essential though as we have a young family.
How do people get in touch for your services?
People can get in touch via our website, email, text or phone.
