Safe taxi scheme
It’s the end of the night, you’ve run out of money, don’t have your bank card with you, and need to get a taxi home. What can you do?
NTSU has an agreement with Nottingham Cars that means you can get a taxi home whenever you need to and pay for it the following day. That means there’s no excuse to walk home alone.
What do I need to do?
- Call Nottingham Cars on 01159 700 700 to book a taxi, stating you need to use the Student Emergency Fare scheme.
- When you are in the taxi, the driver will take note of your student card number and check your student card photograph to confirm your identity. You will be given a receipt at the end of your journey.
- Nottingham Cars will then email the SU, stating your N-number, name, campus of study, and cost of your taxi fare.
- We will temporarily cover the fare on your behalf. You will then settle with us when we are invoiced on a monthly basis by Nottingham Cars.
- We will email you confirming your fare and how to settle your bill when we are invoiced on a monthly basis. You will have one week to settle your bill. If you have any queries about settling your bill please contact finance@su.ntu.ac.uk.
That’s it – no excuse to walk home alone.
We also work with local taxi provider, Nottingham Cars, to offer fixed fares between campuses and halls of residence. Download their app to book a cab with them.
