Information/Services:

To all the people who have used my service over the years, very muchly appreciated, Cal!

Share Savings now available. Doesn’t happen often. Two people sharing a cab from the Halifax Airport to Bridgewater SAVES each passenger $48.00. Option “Yes” to Share Savings is listed in the reservations form. You pay for  your own destination(community) drop off/pickup to/from Bridgewater. If the other party cancels it also cancels the Share Savings and we are back to full price which is still more than likely the best price of any Taxi in Bridgewater! Two people from the Halifax Airport, one going to Lunenburg the other to Bridgewater 9am pickup, Lunenburg passenger pays an additional $42.00(gas $1.50’s discounted rate by paying with debit or cash) which is listed on the Rates Page. The person going to Bridgewater doesn’t pay any additional monies where Cal’s Taxi is Bridgewater based. Both save money and Lunenburg would be dropped off first where again I am Bridgewater based. If one of the other passengers has another passenger with them they pay an additional $10.00. 11 years of age and under ride for free in circumstances of sharing a cab providing proof of age would be appreciated to keep things even Steven! Oh if one of the other parties cancels you have to cover the fare which is logical this is a share taxi circumstance not a shuttle service with a flat rate. I cannot help it if someone decides to drop out. Please keep in mind I’m trying to save money for my passengers with providing this Share Savings service. I would let the other party know right away once I found out the other party is canceling. Three factors determine drop offs, first reservation submitted, secondly in most cases first dropped off is determined by the last drop with the cab headed back to Bridgewater and thirdly a shorter distance or convenient drop maybe the main deciding factor. It doesn’t make sense for the cab to go to Lunenburg than back to Upper New Cornwall, dropping Lunenburg last and taking Trunk 3 back to Bridgewater is the right choice for the cabs convenience as opposed to taking the Cross Roads in Upper New Cornwall. In regards to pick up time depends on both parties pickup times, example today’s shared cab the first person booked to be picked up at 3pm in Bridgewater, week later I get a reservation request for same day but she wants to be picked up down the LaHave River at 3:30pm; so the second person reserving for 3:30pm has to be picked up 2:30pm to be to the first person booked for 3pm.

Protection Installed:
I still have my holeless plastic barrier in place(Oct., 17th, 2022) and will be for some time to come. It is important for people to understand by keeping myself protected as mush as possible helps protect future passengers. There are 4 vents in the ceiling in the back of the Grand Caravan SXT  for heat and AC. Windows will be open slightly. My vehicle is always in good working order!

Payment Options: Google Pay, Apple Pay, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Interac/Flash(via Square) and Cash. You can tap your card through the plastic barrier no problem and if need be there is no problem with inserting your card and putting in your pin number.

Deliveries:
Will deliver everything except alcohol or cannabis.

Thank you,
Cal
