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.

There's nothing wrong with the cars once they arrive, but you
probably get better service on account of being so centrally located.

The family experience includes my daughter in Barnwell Road, far from
central.

Still very central. Try the exercise again somewhere like Willingham,
or Earith.

City taxis operate within the city. If you must live in the countryside you
have to put up with countryside transport constraints.
