Professional Taxi Service in Branscombe
Established in 2015, Karen's Cars was founded to address the lack of reliable transport in East Devons remote Jurassic Coast region. As a licensed Hackney Carriage driver with East Devon District Council, I combine over two decades of childcare expertise with professional taxi services. My VW Sharan accommodates six passengers, wheelchair users, and luggage transfers, serving local transport links, walkers, and residents.With DBS checks and NNEB qualifications, I prioritise safety and comfort for school runs, hospital appointments, and emergency journeys. The business has grown steadily through consistent investment in vehicle maintenance and customer care, operating seven days a week with extended evening hours.
