Genesis Taxis started in May of last year. The founders of this new taxi organization, Terrance Frederick and Miro Augusty saw an opportunity to improve the taxi-service to the local market. With 22 cars on the road presently, Genesis has built a name for itself among the local population.

“People recognize our punctuality and our reliability”, Frederick says. “We’ve had a superb first year”. Augusty adds that Genesis cabbies get a good support from local restaurants and hotels.

On average, customers see a Genesis-taxi appear within ten to twelve minutes after they called them which is an excellent response time.

Next to the local market, Genesis cabs also serve the tourism market with island tours. Last month, Genesis added a new feature to its services. Customers are now able to pay on board with a credit or debit card. People don’t have to carry cash anymore for their cab. The feedback so far we from tourist and local clients is very positive.
