BEST TAXI SERVICE COMPANY

>>CLEAN AIR CAB

The first eco-friendly taxi company in Phoenix, Clean Air Cab started in 2009 with a fleet of 10 Toyota Priuses. Since then, their fleet has grown to more than 40 vehicles, 100 percent of them hybrids. To them, “going green” isn’t a trend; it’s a way of doing business. The company purchases carbon offset credits, subsidizes the planting of trees, and reconditions used vehicle batteries, sending any unusable parts back to the manufacturer for recycling. And, their friendly drivers get you where you need to go on time and safely. cleanaircab-px.rtrk.com.
