Taxi hire costs vary between businesses listed.
This website is simply a directory. We can not control taxi prices.
We recommend discussing costs directly with a driver before booking.

The first thing to do is to join up for our regular email. Tell friends about it, get them to join up. Our email covers events that are happening so you are kept informed.
Participate In Online Marketing Together
If you operate a taxi you need to be found. To be an independent usually means giving out business cards and hoping for the best. The taxis provides one central place for all the drivers contact cards. The listing includes up to 3 small images, number plate so customers can identify your car, operating hours, and a link to start a phone call direct to you. By working together we build a point of contact so the public can contact us direct. Direct booking is the best way to know when your driver will pick you up.
Call centres get swamped in calls and when drivers can't do a job on time, call centers have to also deal with return calls finding out where their ride is. Booking app's
leave you hanging while they find an available car. If it's busy you have no way to know if you will be lucky. Booking direct is the best solution.
Customers request a price quote from 'The Taxis' via BROADCAST
To enhance the usual direct booking methods used by individual drivers, The Taxis extends it one further step. We allow customers to request a price quote from all the drivers at the same time.
For when you don't want to be listed visually on the website, but still want to receive the broadcast to find 'Personal' bookings. Personal bookings are allowed by most companies, so this can be arranged via a Ghost Subscription.
'Descrete' is our hidden middle name.
