A new and exclusive taxi service is in town with a range of deals and a promise to be cheaper than competitors.

FreeRun Taxis, which is Oldham-based and exclusive to residents in the borough, launched in September 2020 but only started operating as of December this year.

The private hire service specialises in airport runs, local pick-ups and long-distance journeys and can be booked in advance or for immediate collection and drop-offs over the phone or via the FreeRun app, called FRPS LTD.

Customers can also opt to pay in cash, card or via the app.

Kabir Hussain, who owns the company, said the team is also currently conducting a festive competition and offering a giveaway prize to kickstart the business and build its reputation.

New customers who download the app can grab a 10 per cent off deal.

The business also promises to be £1 cheaper than competitors during the festive period.

Another two lucky customers will be picked at random to win either a £100 or £50 prize.

FreeRun Taxis said: "It's Christmas, so why not?"

Those looking to enter the draw must follow and like the FreeRun Taxis page on Facebook, tag three friends and share the post.

All steps must be completed to enter the prize draw but unlimited entries are accepted.

The winners will be chosen tomorrow (Monday, December 11) at 1pm.
