Diamond Cars join forces with Go Carz

Diamond Cars has joined forces with Go Carz, Shropshire’s largest private hire and taxi firm, to further boost its offering in Telford and across Shropshire.

The joining of forces creates a 650 strong fleet of licensed vehicles in Telford. Operating under the existing and well-known Go Carz brand, the deal provides the Telford driver-partners and their passengers an even better experience. Residents and businesses in Telford will benefit from increased capacity at peak times. 

The deal also helps the local driver-partners by reducing the dead-mileage between bookings and creates more opportunities to earn. Passengers can still make a booking by using the existing telephone numbers for Diamond Cars. However, the Diamond Cars mobile app is no longer accepting bookings, passengers should now use the Go Carz mobile app. Cash or card payments are accepted on all bookings. Credit and debit cards can be easily added to the mobile app, or alternatively, card payments can be made using AirPay - Go Carz new SMS text message option.

Linda and Nigel Horler, the founders of Diamond Cars, will oversee the transition to Go Carz and retire after 31 years in the business. Whilst their son Dan, a driving force in the Diamond Cars business for many years, will join the Go Carz management team.

Graham Hoof, Regional Director, said: “We are delighted that Diamond Cars and Go Carz are joining forces and look forward to working with Dan. We now have more cars all operating from one system which means passengers in Telford can expect an even better service.”
