Capital Cars is an established Edinburgh taxi private-hire company that provides a range of services from airport transfers to luxury chauffeur trips and exclusive tours of Scotland.
Looking to add to its green fleet of executive vehicles, Capital Cars received asset-based lending via ENABLE Funding delivery partner Simply Asset Finance to buy two electric Tesla Model S P85 vehicles. The Teslas have proved popular with the executive market, but also for special occasions where customers like the idea that they are reducing their carbon footprint.
