SafeKab is a safety-first taxi booking app that lets you book a ride with trusted, licensed local operators. You can see and rate your driver, confirm you’re in the right car with a unique safety code, and share your journey live with people you trust — so you know exactly who is collecting you, from booking to arrival.
Yes. SafeKab is a locally-run taxi app used in Inverness and other parts of the UK, built as a safety-first alternative to the big national ride-hailing apps. Instead of anonymous gig drivers, your ride comes from licensed local operators you can see, rate and verify.
SafeKab works with trusted local taxi operators and is currently used in Inverness and Stornoway, with more towns and cities being added across the UK.
Yes — the SafeKab app is free to download and use to book taxis, and SafeWalk is included at no extra cost. Some SafeHalo personal-safety features are part of an optional Premium plan.
SafeWalk is a free feature for when you’re walking rather than riding. Before you set off, you enter your destination and share your walk with people you trust. They can follow your journey live on a map, and they’re notified automatically when you arrive safely.
SafeHalo is SafeKab’s personal-safety service, currently running as a pilot scheme. For moments when you need help or reassurance, one press — in the app or using the SafeHalo Bluetooth safety button — alerts your trusted contacts and shares your location. Premium users also receive monitored support, where a trained response team reviews the alert and helps decide the best course of action. SafeHalo is a private safety support service and does not replace the emergency services; always contact 999 directly in an emergency where it is safe to do so.
Safety is built into every step. You choose and see your driver before pickup, confirm you’re in the right vehicle with a unique safety code, share your live location with friends or family, and can use an in-app SOS button if you ever feel unsafe. SafeWalk then keeps you connected on the walk to your door.
SafeKab was created to give people more assurance and safety as they move around their cities. Features such as choosing and seeing your driver, verifying the vehicle with a safety code, sharing your live journey, and a one-press SOS are all designed to help you feel more secure — whether you’re travelling alone, out late, or simply want extra peace of mind.
Download the SafeKab app from the App Store or Google Play, enter your pickup and destination, and choose your ride. You can book straight away or pre-book for later, see your driver’s details and estimated arrival time, and pay through the app.
Yes. SafeKab partners with independent, licensed taxi operators who want to offer passengers a safer, app-based service while staying fully independent. If you run a taxi or private-hire firm, get in touch to find out about joining the network.
Yes. If you’re a licensed driver, you can use SafeKab to start your own service in your city. The main things you need are a booking office licence for your area and a few fellow drivers to help you meet demand — SafeKab provides the app and technology behind it. Get in touch and we’ll help you get started.
