Our commitment to Southampton
As a family-run business, our roots run deep in Southampton. We are deeply committed to serving our community. With us, your journey is more than a ride - it’s a testament to our unwavering dedication to our city and its people.
Our primary goal is to protect the community and our valued customers. I would like the opportunity to speak with you at your earliest convenience to discuss the situation in detail and explore how we can move forward together.
Additionally, I wish to emphasise that our Aryvo App, which serves as our booking platform, continues to operate seamlessly. All our drivers are licensed and fully compliant with regulations across all of Hampshire.
Despite these current challenges, I want to assure you that all our services, including the call center, app, and online booking system, are fully operational to cater to all your transportation needs. Furthermore, all existing bookings not only remain valid but also fully comply with the law.
Your input is crucial to us, and we are confident that through open communication, we can address any concerns and work towards a positive resolution.
Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support.
