Spalding taxi firm launches card and phone pay inside the cab

Spalding firm Royal Taxis believes it is the first cab company in Lincolnshire to enable customers to pay by card or phone inside the taxi.

Drivers are equipped to take payments by debit and credit card, including American Express, and via Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Boss Mroof Choudry says it's more convenient for customers, and it's safer for drivers who will be carrying less cash.

Mroof said: "I believe we are probably the first one in Lincolnshire."

There is no minimum spend for the service.
