Airport taxi and transfers from North Devon
Barnstaple sits a long way from any airport, which is exactly why airport work needs
planning rather than a last-minute call. We quote a fixed fare, agree a pickup time that
builds in sensible contingency for the drive, and track your flight number on the return
leg. If the plane lands late, the driver waits — you are not charged for a delay
outside your control, and you are not left in arrivals rebooking. See our
airport taxi page for routes, journey times
and how we set your pickup time.
Station pickups and rail connections
We cover Barnstaple station and the stops along the Tarka Line, plus Tiverton Parkway and
Exeter St Davids where you are connecting to a mainline service. Give us the train time
when you book and there will be a car waiting as you come off the platform, which matters
most on the last train of the evening.
Night-time travel
A large share of our work happens between midnight and six in the morning: shift changes
at the hospital, nights out in Barnstaple town centre, early starts for travel and the
occasional emergency. There is no hour of the night we do not cover, and no need to check
whether we are running.
Long-distance journeys
We take bookings anywhere in the UK. For journeys where a rail connection from North Devon
would mean two changes and most of a day, a direct car is often both faster and, for two
or more passengers, cheaper. These are quoted individually — send us the destination
and date and we will price it.
Hospital and medical appointments
We run to North Devon District Hospital every day, for outpatient appointments, day
surgery discharges, visiting hours and staff shift changes. For an appointment we work
backwards from your slot time rather than guessing, and for a discharge we can wait
while you collect prescriptions instead of you paying twice for two journeys. Full
detail is on our hospital taxi page.
School runs, contracts and account work
We take regular contract work: school and college runs, staff transport for local
businesses, and account bookings billed monthly rather than paid in the car. Regular
journeys are handled by the same small pool of drivers wherever possible, which is what
parents and businesses actually want — a familiar face at the same time each day.
Call to set an account or a standing booking up.
Group travel and luggage
Our 8 seater vehicles handle group travel, airport runs with a full set of suitcases and
family trips that will not fit in a saloon. Tell us your group size and how many bags you
are carrying when you book, and we will send a vehicle with the space to match rather
than splitting you across two cars.
