Jake’s Cars – a brief history
In 1998, Jake and Caroline founded Jake’s Cars with one simple goal, to provide local people in Billingshurst with a reliable, affordable taxi company they could trust. From just one private hire car, Jake grew the business into a well-established taxi company with eight cars and a dedicated team of drivers.
Fast forward to 2025, and Jake realised he has a problem. Jake’s Cars was so popular and so busy that he couldn’t always provide a taxi to local people who wanted one. (That upset him a lot as he hates letting people down.) He needed more cars, more drivers, more availability – and quickly.
So, he decided to look for a partner who could provide more availability, and also shared his passion for keeping things local. He didn’t want a big company to come in, change the name, and sweep away the local connections he most valued. He just needed to expand the great business he already had.
There was only one natural choice: Your Local Car (YLC). Also a family run firm, YLC offered that winning combination of good old fashioned values with the latest technology to provide an excellent level of service. Importantly, the Jake’s Cars name, the telephone number, and the app would all stay the same for continuity and trust.
The YLC group works behind the scenes with individual taxi companies, sharing resources including backend dispatch technology, app servers, online booking, local drivers, and real people to answer calls.
As a result, all customers of Jake’s Cars (and everyone else!) can enjoy excellent taxi availability with reliable drivers in their own clean, comfortable cars.
It’s a win-win for everyone, especially anyone looking for a reliable, pre-bookable taxi in Billingshurst!
