EVO Taxis Limited (EVO) insists on putting its Partners and Customers at the top of its agenda. This customer service policy sets out what this commitment means in practice. What our Customers can expect from us and what we expect of our Partners and Customers.
Our customer service policy makes clear the Company’s commitment to provide excellent services that offer value for money. Key to achieving that vision is a good relationship with our Customers.
This policy and the standards within it apply to EVO and all partners offering services on behalf of EVO.
1. Why have a policy?
Customers that utilise the EVO service have an expectation of the services we provide. It is important that customers know what to expect from us in terms of service so they measure whether we are successful or not. As a provider of transport services we utilise a number of travel partners and employ a number of staff. It is important that all of our partners and staff understand and deliver the same high quality service irrespective of the geographical area that they operate within.
