The USP appears to be a much larger pool of available drivers nearby
than ringing the phone number of some random minicab company.


Not so great when the local hire car and taxi trade is concentrated into
an operator as large as Panther in Cambridge?


I did say "nearby". Anecdotal evidence from Cambridge suggests that
if you order a Panther car it's not very likely to turn up within
five minutes, or even sometimes twenty-five.


Not so from family experience. We have found Panther reliable and
professional.
