Tips while booking your Southall cab
Tell us if you are near the Broadway or out towards Southall Green. They are both part of Southall but can be a few minutes apart depending on traffic on Uxbridge Road, so a specific pickup point speeds things up.
Saturdays get busy around the market and Broadway. If you are booking a pickup near South Road or the market on a Saturday, build in a few extra minutes either side, as parking and loading can be tight.
For weddings or events at the Gurdwara or nearby venues, book your return time in advance. Large events mean more traffic on Park Avenue and Havelock Road, and a pre-booked return avoids a long wait for a car on the day.
If you are heading to or from Southall station, mention which side. The station sits between the Broadway and South Road, and pickup points on each side are reached differently.
Card, cash or account. Regular and school run customers can be set up on an account rather than paying per trip.
Airport taxi transfers to and from Southall UB1/UB2
Southall is not as close to Heathrow as some of the areas we cover, but it is still a straightforward run via the A312, usually 15 to 20 minutes off-peak. Rush hour around the Hayes bypass and the A4020 can add another 10 to 15 minutes, so if you are catching an early flight from Southall Green or the Broadway, it is worth telling us your terminal so we can time the pickup properly rather than guessing.
| Route | Saloon car | 9 seater minibus | Usual drive time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heathrow | £25-£32 | £50-£62 | 15-30 min |
| Gatwick | £80-£100 | £125-£155 | 70-90 min |
| London City Airport | £62-£78 | £100-£130 | 60-80 min |
| Luton | £65-£85 | £110-£135 | 50-65 min |
| Stansted | £85-£105 | £130-£160 | 70-90 min |
These are off-peak guide prices. Call us for a firm quote once you know your terminal and travel time. Usually the price would be similar, but some factors like travelling during peak times, or having a special request such as complimentary or VIP service, may affect the pricing.
9 seater minibus hire in Southall UB1/UB2
Our Mercedes Vito minibuses seat up to 9 with room for luggage, which comes up a lot in Southall for wedding and event transport, given the number of venues and gurdwaras in the area, as well as for family airport trips and school group travel. One vehicle, one fare, and everyone arrives together rather than being split across cars.
School run transport service in Southall UB1/UB2
We run regular, pre-booked school run transport for families around Southall and Southall Green, usually with the same driver each day so children get a familiar face rather than someone new every morning. Where a school or nursery needs a DBS-checked driver written into a contract, we can arrange that. Ask for the school's desk when you call.
