Veezu’s UK Expansion: One Million App Downloads Achieved in 2024

Veezu, the UK’s fastest-growing taxi and private hire vehicle (PHV) business, has reached a remarkable milestone, surpassing one million app downloads in 2024.

This accomplishment underscores Veezu’s strong growth trajectory and its expanding footprint across the UK. The company continues to deliver highly accessible on-demand and prebooked transport services to passengers.

Extensive UK Presence and Local Licenses

Veezu operates across more than 50 local license authorities in the UK, demonstrating its widespread presence.

The company has successfully rolled out its mobile app in over 50 cities, towns, and rural areas, including Yorkshire, Merseyside, the Midlands, South Wales, the South West, the Home Counties, and Cambridgeshire.

This extensive coverage highlights the company’s commitment to serving diverse communities across the UK.

Innovative Blend of Local Expertise and National Efficiency

As Veezu’s popularity grows, the company continues to redefine travel by integrating the local expertise of traditional taxi and PHV firms with the scale and efficiency of a national platform.

This unique approach allows Veezu to serve both urban and rural areas effectively, setting it apart from competitors in the industry. The achievement of one million downloads since January 1, 2024, demonstrates the resonance of this approach with UK passengers.

Features That Enhance the Passenger Experience

The Veezu app prioritizes passenger choice and convenience. It offers seamless booking and payment options, accommodating both cash and card preferences. For corporate clients, the app simplifies business travel management by allowing employees to book rides directly, with charges billed to company accounts.

This feature eliminates the need for personal reimbursements, making travel stress-free for both businesses and their employees.

Commitment to Community Engagement

Founded in Wales in 2013, Veezu remains deeply rooted in the communities it serves. The company actively participates in community support initiatives, including:

• Donations to Childline Cymru for every app booking in Wales during December 2024.
• Contributions to the East Anglia Air Ambulance through app bookings in Cambridge throughout 2024.
• A nationwide campaign in October 2024, where Veezu donated for every booking to cerebral palsy charities.
• Sponsorship of thePride Park Pumas, a local youth football team to Support Youth Engagement and Boost Girls' Football.

These efforts reflect Veezu’s dedication to making a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families across the UK.
