Local taxi, across the whole city

Short journeys are the ones people judge a taxi firm on. Did the car come? Was it on time? Did the driver know the road? We cover Bristol and the surrounding South Gloucestershire and North Somerset villages, and because we are dispatched locally rather than from a call centre two counties away, we can usually reach you quickly.

Areas we cover

Pre-booking is worth the two minutes it takes, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights, on match days at Ashton Gate and the Memorial Stadium, and whenever the weather turns. Book in the morning for the evening and the car is already yours.

Journeys we make every day

Temple Meads to a hotel in the centre. The school run in Bishopston. A hospital appointment at Southmead or the BRI with a wheelchair to fold into the boot. The supermarket shop that will not fit on the bus. Last orders in Clifton to a front door in Bedminster. None of them are glamorous and all of them need a car that turns up.

Pre-booked, not hailed

We are a licensed private hire operator, which means every journey is pre-booked through the office — you cannot flag us down in the street, and that is the point. Your booking is logged, the vehicle and driver are assigned to you by name, and the fare is agreed before you get in rather than watched on a meter.

Accessibility and travelling with children

Tell us what you need when you book. Child and booster seats are available at no extra charge if we know in advance — we cannot fit one that we have not brought with us. Folding wheelchairs, walking frames and assistance to and from the front door are all routine; just say so on the booking so the right vehicle and the right driver come out.

Areas beyond the city

Local for us reaches further than the city boundary: Portishead, Clevedon, Nailsea, Backwell, Thornbury, Yate, Chipping Sodbury, Keynsham and the villages between them. Anything further afield is priced as a long-distance transfer, which is often better value than you would expect.

Fixed-price routes in this category

Each of these has its own page with journey times, what is included and the questions we get asked about it.

Areas we cover in and around Bristol

We are dispatched locally, so these are not names on a map — they are streets our drivers use every day.

Clifton

Clifton Village, the Suspension Bridge and the Downs. We know which of the narrow Georgian terraces a car can actually turn in, and where to wait when Princess Victoria Street is full.

Redland

Redland, Cotham and the streets around Redland station — a regular early-morning run to Bristol Airport for us, and a familiar route home after a late train.

Horfield

Horfield, Bishopston and Gloucester Road, including match-day traffic around the Memorial Stadium and hospital runs to Southmead.

Stoke Bishop

Stoke Bishop, Sneyd Park and Sea Mills, with easy access to the Portway and a clear route to the M5 for northbound journeys.

Filton

Filton, Patchway and the Airbus and MOD sites — shift-friendly pick-ups and corporate accounts for contractors working on the aerospace campus.

Patchway

Patchway, Bradley Stoke and Almondsbury, moments from junction 16 of the M5 for airport and long-distance transfers.

Bedminster

Bedminster, Southville and North Street, plus the Tobacco Factory and Ashton Gate — pre-book your return before a fixture or a gig and we are waiting when it ends.

Kingswood

Kingswood, Hanham and Longwell Green in South Gloucestershire, with quick links to the ring road and the M4 for eastbound trips.

Bristol city centre

Temple Meads, Broadmead, Harbourside and the Old City. Ranks fill up fast on Friday and Saturday nights — a pre-booked car is the difference between waiting and going home.
