Minibus Taxi in Chessington

When a minibus taxi makes sense

A standard saloon cab takes four passengers and a couple of cases. Once your group reaches five, six or more, you either squeeze in or book two cars. A minibus taxi fixes both problems. It is usually cheaper than two saloon cars, everyone arrives together, and the driver only has to find one pickup point. It is also the easiest way to keep a group together on a long airport run.

Popular minibus taxi journeys

• Group airport transfers. Families and friends travelling to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted or Luton with holiday luggage. Flight tracking covers the return trip.
• Nights out and events. Groups heading into Kingston or central London who want a fixed fare home rather than a late-night queue.
• Race days. Parties going to Epsom Downs or Sandown Park in Esher, where parking is limited on big race days.
• Weddings and celebrations. Guests, bridal parties and birthday groups who need one vehicle and one pickup point.
• Station transfers. Groups catching long-distance trains from King's Cross, Euston or Paddington with luggage.
• Shared school runs. Neighbouring families splitting one school run taxi between them.

Passenger and luggage space

Our minibus carries up to 8 passengers, 6 large suitcases and 8 hand bags. That is a guide rather than a hard rule: golf bags, pushchairs, ski bags and wheelchairs take up space differently, so tell us what you are bringing. If your group is only five or six people, a 7 seater taxi may be a cheaper fit.

Child seats in a minibus

Child seats are available on request. Families travelling with babies and toddlers should list each child's age when booking so the right seats are arranged. Remember that fitted child seats take up a seat position, which can change how many adults fit in the vehicle.

Fixed fares for minibus cabs and airport transfers

Every journey is priced before you travel. Enter your pickup and drop-off in the form above and you will see a fixed fare for a minibus. Because the price is per vehicle rather than per person, a full minibus often costs each passenger less than a train, coach or two separate cars, especially for airport transfers from Chessington where the nearest rail link to Gatwick or Heathrow involves changes.

Booking tips

• Book early for school holidays, bank holiday weekends and race days, when minibuses are in high demand.
• Add your flight number for airport pickups so the driver can track your arrival.
• Tell us the number of passengers and bags when booking so we send the right vehicle.
• If your group is splitting at the end of the night, ask about adding a drop-off on the way.

Is a minibus taxi right for wheelchairs and mobility aids?

Folding wheelchairs, walking frames and mobility scooters that fold down can usually travel in the boot of a minibus, but space depends on what else you are carrying. Tell us the type and size of the equipment when you book, and whether the passenger can transfer to a seat. If you need a wheelchair accessible vehicle where the passenger stays in the chair, call us first to discuss availability.
