Stawell Taxis has rebranded as 13cabs and joined its sophisticated despatch service to ensure passengers not only get the best price for their trip, but can quickly and easily book a taxi.
Stawell Taxis has been run by the well-known local Clarke family - Daniel, Matthew, Ken and Veronica - for 18 years.
Ken Clarke said they decided to dispatch their cabs through the 13cabs modern booking system to improve passenger service for Stawell residents.

"When passengers book through the 13cabs app, they will get a fixed price guarantee for their fare," he said.
"This means that unlike rideshare, the price stays the same even in peak hours or on a public holiday.
"The new system started last week and our passengers have already told us how convenient it is to book us through the 13cabs app."
When booking through the 13cabs app - or by ringing 13cabs main call centre on 132227 - anyone in Stawell or surrounds will automatically be connected with a local 13cabs taxi.
"We want to make things as easy as we can for our passengers," Mr Clarke said.
"Of course, passengers can still book using our existing number 5358 4222."
A spokesman for 13cabs, Greg Hardeman, said the company was pleased it could help Stawell Taxis and its passengers through its modern booking app.
"We are delighted to work with Stawell Taxis and in turn, help the people of Stawell," he said.
