Putting Letting Agents in the Positive.

February 4, 2016

Keylet Sales & Lettings are running a free transport service for students.

The students – including those who do not rent through Keylet, in Cathays – are being offered free lifts into Cardiff city centre every Wednesday evening throughout February. Wednesdays are when the students have their weekly socials.

The lifts are given in the firm’s branded Keylet cars.

Keylet originally launched the service last October, amid media coverage of unlicensed taxis and a number of sexual assaults in Cardiff.

Last autumn’s free service proved so popular that the firm decided to run it again.

The service operates between 7pm and 9pm, and all students have to do is turn up at the office.

While the students are not given lifts back, Keylet also offers some advice on its website to help students with safe transport. It specifically warns them not to use unlicensed taxis, how to recognise those that are licensed, and suggests that they pre-pay when booking cabs so that they can still get back home even if they have run out of money.
