    You could possibly do something simple such as eCab, eCabbie, e-Cab etc?

    What about GrumpyGreencabs this way if one of your drivers is not nice to customer and complains you can state "What did you expect we told you about customer service in our name!"

    "Grump-E-Cab" or "Grump-E-Cabbie", but the first one rolls of the tounge better.

    I like the "Eco-cab" one.

    Customers are not going to want acronyms, nor dorky sounding names. It has to sound catchy, so that it's easy to remember. And upbeat sounding. "Oh, no darling... call an Eco-cab instead!"

    I watch for an Eco-cab next time I'm in Harrowsgate. :p

    Well I must say I've been impressed with some of the great ideas and names :)

    There are one or two that sound great and could be viable. Being a humble cabbie I'll never be able to offer any monetary consideration other than maybe a pint next time you're over here.

    A lot of good suggestions. Somehow I like "GrumpyCabbie" or similar derivative best, even though it doesn't communicate your Eco Conciousness. And infact could possibly be the worst name for a cab company possible.

    My first reaction was "Clean Air Fares"...but I don't like it...too long and reminds people that they will be paying...something most people don't like to be reminded of...

    Good Luck whatever you end up naming the enterprise...

    Well, there go my expectations, crushed yet again. :drama:

    You'd at least pick me up at the airport, wouldn't you? :rolleyes:

    Another idea: Hire only older drivers and call it GrampieCabbie.

    Ahh..don't worry...The American Way would be to wait until he's succesful and THEN bring litigation against him....
