What you can book

Five things people ask us for by name. Book them in the app or send the journey here and we will set it up.

Local minicab

A car to your door for the everyday runs: the station, the school gate, the late shift, the night out.

  • Saloon or estate
  • Same-day or booked ahead
  • Door-to-door, no walking to a pickup point
  • Driver's name sent with the confirmation
Most booked

Airport transfer

Booked around your flight rather than around the clock, with the return leg set up in the same conversation.

  • Pickup time set against your flight
  • Help with cases to the car
  • Meet at arrivals on request
  • Return journey booked at the same time

Pre-booked journeys

Hospital appointments, long runs between towns, early starts — fixed in the diary days or weeks ahead.

  • Date and time held for you
  • Larger car if there are more of you
  • Wait-and-return on request
  • Reminder before the pickup

Business accounts

For firms moving staff, clients and visitors regularly, without someone paying on the day each time.

  • Named passengers on the account
  • Repeat journeys saved once
  • Booking by app or by request
  • One statement instead of receipts

Courier and parcel runs

Documents, keys and small parcels moved across town in a car instead of a van.

  • Same-day local drops
  • Collection booked like a ride
  • Handed to a named person
  • Confirmation once it is delivered

Every journey is quoted for the route you ask for, before you confirm it. Tell us pickup, drop-off and time and the quote comes back for that ride.

How a booking goes

  1. Send the journey

    Pickup address, where you are going, the date and the time. If it is an airport run, give us the flight and we will work backwards from it.

  2. We quote that ride

    The price is for the route you asked for and comes back before anything is confirmed. If the journey changes, so does the quote — you see it first.

  3. You get the car and the driver

    Confirmation names the driver, the car and the pickup time, so you know what is coming to the door.

  4. The driver messages on arrival

    They pull up at the pickup point and let you know they are outside. Pay the driver on the day, or put it on an account if you have one.
