Testimonials

Testimonials
"What a wonderful service in Tauranga North! Used Daisy for a few weeks after using "typical" taxi company who used their car horns to announce their arrival and sat in car. Driving Miss Daisy Tauranga North does not offer the same service. Instead they position the car for your ease of access, get out and assist in any way they can, enjoy a conversation and will patiently wait for you if necessary while you do your errands. Way, way better than normal taxi service" -Barb "The friendly team from Tauranga North have made my transportation struggles of my accident recovery a delight. It's not easy to go from being very independent to not being able to drive. Having reliable transport to and from appointments, help getting in and out of the vehicle and caring drivers have made all the difference." - G Brown.
