Panther taxis

Having a night out? It’s always advisable to plan your trip home in advance and travel with others where possible. If you’re alone, think about getting a taxi back. If you want to put the cost of your taxi on your College bill to pay it later, Corpus has an account with Panther Taxis. Simply:

  1. Phone them on 01223 715715 (or directly from the phone in F-staircase),
  2. Ask to use the Corpus JCR Student Account—account number 0860,
  3. Give them your name (you’ll need to have your University Card with you so that the taxi driver can prove you are you and haven’t given someone else’s name),
  4. When asked, give them the password,
  5. Wait for the taxi and pay for it on your next College bill. Simple.
