Westside Private Charters

We tick all the boxes!

WHEN Stephen Rooney tried to book a taxi van a week in advance he couldn’t believe his ears when told they couldn’t guarantee a pick-up time.

"I just couldn’t believe it, I thought, there’s an opportunity going begging here to provide quality service," he said through his Scottish brogue.

Westside Private Charters has been operating eight weeks now and Stephen says the Yangebup-based business has taken off like a rocket.

“The feedback has been fantastic and it’s all been word of mouth so far. A lot of the people who book with us are already regulars.”

With 11 years in the car industry—including with luxury marques such as Mercedes Benz and BMW—Stephen
had learned that reliable service is everything.

"Being a part of the local community is so important to me," Stephen says. “First and foremost, we’re a local company looking after local people.

“Whether it’s as simple as a Taxi Van for two people or buses for 60, we provide a fixed-price guarantee and a guaranteed pick-up time.

We confirm at booking and we SMS again when we’re a half-hour away—it’s about 100% service. We even carry a folding step and an umbrella—and an esky with bottled water for pick-ups after a big night out and child seats and boosters are free of charge (supplied on request). And two fixing points means clients can bring their own if they’d prefer.

We’re doing a lot of weddings and bucks’ and hens’ nights and we can have a lot of fun in the vehicle—the other week a few girls had Bon Jovi cranked up and it was like karaoke, with everyone singing along to Living on a Prayer—we all had a great time.

"Other times, I pick up fly-in fly-out guys and they just want to catch a bit more sleep on the way to the airport. That’s fine too."

" Stephen came to Australia three years ago from Glasgow and stayed after falling in love with Rachel. They were married at Cottesloe" bagpipes and kilts on the beach, the whole thing”—and have added Will (17 months) to their young family.

"It’s one of the reasons we decided to start the business, to offer a flexible worklife balance, and it’s been really great being able to spend time with Will—it’s something a lot of new dads miss out on so I feel really privileged."

Westside Private Charters offers a reliable, affordable and friendly hire service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Put its number in your speed dial right now and you’ll never have to worry about taxi hassles again.

" We’re a local company looking after local people."
