WELCOME TO AIRPORTTAXIS.CO.UK!
|
|
Hello and welcome to AirportTaxis.co.uk -- one of the very first taxi firms in the whole of Britain to have our very own page on the World Wide Web! We are very proud of this and hope you find everything you need on here.
We have been providing top quality airport transfer services since 1989 and now with the wonders of the Internet we can reach customers all over the country! If you are looking for a reliable, punctual and friendly taxi service to or from any of the major UK airports then you have come to the right place.
Our drivers are all fully licensed, experienced professionals who know the roads to every major airport like the back of their hand. Whether it's the crack of dawn for a 6am Heathrow departure or a late-night pickup from Gatwick after a long-haul flight, AirportTaxis.co.uk will be there waiting for you.
IMPORTANT: This website is still being built by our webmaster but we have put up as much information as we can for now. Please bear with us -- more pages coming soon including online booking (we think this will be very popular)!
*** Please sign our guestbook and tell us what you think of the site! ***

OUR SERVICES
|
=> STANDARD TRANSFERS
Our most popular service. A comfortable saloon car will collect you from your home or office and take you directly to the airport terminal. No sharing with strangers, no waiting around -- just door to door service at a price that won't break the bank!
Available 24 hours, 7 days a week.
|
=> EXECUTIVE CLASS
Travelling on business? Impress your clients with our Executive Class service. You will be collected in a top-of-the-range Mercedes E-Class or Jaguar XJ6. Our executive drivers wear suits and ties and will assist with your luggage.
Please book 48 hours in advance where possible.
|
=> MEET & GREET
Arriving at the airport and don't know what to expect? Our Meet & Greet service means your driver will be waiting for you in Arrivals holding a board with your name on it. He will help with your bags and escort you to the car.
Very popular with families and business travellers!
|
=> PEOPLE CARRIER
Travelling as a group? Our Ford Galaxy and Renault Espace people carriers can seat up to 7 passengers plus luggage. Perfect for family holidays or corporate groups travelling together. Much better value than booking several separate taxis!
Great for sports teams and conference groups.

WHY CHOOSE AIRPORTTAXIS.CO.UK?
|
|
There are lots of taxi firms out there (some of them even have websites now!) but we think AirportTaxis.co.uk is simply the best. Here is why:
| > |
We are never late. Our drivers monitor your flight using a special telephone service and will adjust pickup times accordingly if your flight is delayed. We have been doing this since 1993 -- long before it became fashionable! |
| > |
Fixed prices, always. Unlike black cabs, our prices are agreed before you travel. There are no nasty surprises on the meter. What we quote is what you pay -- simple as that. |
| > |
Friendly professional drivers. All our drivers are carefully selected, background-checked, and trained to the highest standard. They wear uniforms, hold doors open, and will help with your luggage without being asked. |
| > |
Clean modern vehicles. Our cars are valeted after every journey. No old chip wrappers, no funny smells, no dodgy air fresheners. Just a clean, comfortable ride. |
| > |
We carry newspapers. Our executive vehicles carry a selection of the morning's newspapers for your reading pleasure. Just ask your driver which ones are available. |
| > |
Payment by credit card accepted. We accept Visa, Mastercard and Switch in addition to cash. Very few taxi firms offer this -- we are proud to be ahead of the game! |
| > |
We are on the Internet! You are reading this page right now, which means we are one of the most forward-thinking taxi companies in Britain. When online booking becomes possible we will be ready for it! |
"Absolutely first class service -- I have used AirportTaxis.co.uk
four times now and they have never let me down once!"
-- M.H., Guildford, Surrey (from our Guestbook)
|
"Driver was waiting for us at Heathrow even though our flight
from Tenerife was 2 hours late! Would definitely recommend."
-- P. and C. W., Watford, Herts (from our Guestbook)

- Your name and address
- Your pickup address (or arrival airport and terminal)
- Your destination address (or departure airport and terminal)
- Date and time of travel (or flight arrival time)

COOL LINKS
(Other useful sites we have found on the Internet)
|
|
Here are some other websites we think you might find useful when planning your trip. The Internet is amazing -- there is so much information out there!
| SITE |
WHAT IS IT? |
| www.baa.co.uk |
BAA -- runs Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports. Their website has live flight information and terminal maps. Very impressive site! |
| www.britishairways.co.uk |
British Airways -- apparently you can now check flight times on their website. We are told you might even be able to book tickets online in the future! |
| www.theaa.co.uk |
The AA -- excellent route planner that works on the Internet. We use this ourselves to plan new routes for our drivers. |
| www.rac.co.uk |
The RAC -- similar to the AA. Good for traffic news and road conditions especially if you are travelling early in the morning. |
| BBC Weather |
Very handy for checking the weather before your journey. Useful if you are travelling to Manchester where it can rain a lot. |
| XE Currency Converter |
Useful if you need to know the exchange rate for your holiday destination. We have bookmarked this ourselves! |
| Yahoo UK |
The best search engine on the Internet in our opinion. If you cannot find something on here it probably does not exist on the web yet. |
| www.multimap.com |
Amazing -- type in any UK postcode and it shows you a map! Our drivers think this is the greatest invention since the A-Z. |
NOTE: We are not responsible for the content of external websites. All links were working when we added them but the Internet changes all the time. If you find a broken link please let us know via the guestbook.
