info About Service

What Is a Long Distance Taxi Service?

A long distance taxi service provides professional, pre-booked private hire transport for journeys that extend far beyond local routes — typically covering 50 miles or more between UK cities, airports, cruise ports, and towns. Unlike public transport, rail services, or ride-hailing apps, a long-distance taxi offers a fixed-price, door-to-door experience with no changes, no delays, and no luggage restrictions.

At London Airport Taxi, our long-distance service is operated by TfL-licensed, DBS-checked drivers using fully insured vehicles. Every fare is quoted upfront with no hidden charges, regardless of traffic conditions or journey duration. Passengers can choose from saloons, estate cars, executive vehicles, MPVs, and 8-seater minibuses depending on group size and luggage requirements.
