Why take an intercity taxi from Croydon?
Many long-distance train journeys from Croydon start with a trip into central London, a change of station and a walk with luggage. An intercity taxi from Croydon removes all of that. The car collects you from your door and drops you at the address you need, whether that's a cruise terminal in Southampton, a university hall in Oxford or a family home in Birmingham. For groups, one fixed fare often compares well with several train tickets.

Cruise and ferry passengers
Cruise holidays mean lots of luggage. Rather than taking a train from Waterloo to Southampton with several cases, you can travel door to door. For a couple with cruise luggage, an estate is often enough. For a family or two couples sailing together, a 7 seater taxi keeps everyone and the bags together. We also run to Dover for ferries.
Long trips with children or pets
Child seats are available on request for long journeys. Tell us the children's ages when you book. If your dog is coming too, ask for our pet friendly taxi and plan a break on longer runs.
Choosing the right vehicle
For one or two passengers, a saloon is comfortable for a long drive. An estate adds luggage space, and our 6 seater taxi suits families. For hotel stays at the other end, see our hotel transfer taxi page.
Pickups across Croydon and south London
We collect from anywhere in Croydon, including Purley and Coulsdon, which are quick for routes south. We also collect from nearby areas such as Bromley and Wimbledon. Flying instead? See our Croydon to Heathrow taxi page.
