Kingston Cabs for Kingston upon Thames, Day and Night

Kingston cabs take the hassle out of the busiest town in the borough. Kingston upon Thames has a historic market place, the Bentall Centre, a riverside lined with restaurants, a major hospital and one of the biggest universities in south-west London. Getting in and out of it all, especially on a Saturday, is easier when someone else does the driving. We collect you from your door at a fixed fare, 24 hours a day. Call 020 3621 6402 or use the online quote form.

Kingston Taxis Through the One-Way System

Why does Kingston take longer to drive into than it looks on the map? Because the town centre is wrapped in a one-way relief road, and missing your turning means going all the way round again. Visitors find it confusing, and Saturday traffic slows it right down. Our drivers know the loop, the shortcuts and the best places to stop, so you’re not stuck circling.

Drop-Off Points Near Market Place, the Bentall Centre and the Rose Theatre

Tell us exactly where you’re heading, whether that’s Market Place, the Bentall Centre, the riverside by Kingston Bridge or the Rose Theatre. Parts of the centre are closed to traffic, so we’ll get you as close as the roads allow and agree on a clear spot for your return pickup.

Busy Saturdays and Event Days

Saturdays, school holidays and the run-up to Christmas bring heavy traffic into Kingston. If you’re on a schedule, tell us when you need to arrive, and we’ll build in extra time. You’ll be glad you did.

Kingston Hospital Taxis for Patients, Visitors and Staff

Kingston Hospital on Galsworthy Road is one of our most-booked journeys. Patients, visitors and staff working shifts all rely on us. A car drops you near the entrance, which matters when you’re unwell, have a mobility problem or are running late for an appointment. Tell us which department you’re visiting, and we’ll drop you at the closest point.

Wait-and-Return Cars for Outpatient Visits

Outpatient appointments often run late, and finding a ride home afterwards can be stressful. A wait-and-return booking means your car stays nearby and takes you home when you’re done. You agree one price for the whole trip, so there’s no watching the clock while you wait to be called in.

Shift Workers and Late Finishes

Hospital shifts don’t follow bus timetables. Finishing at midnight or starting before dawn? Tell us your rota, and we’ll set up regular pickups so you’re never stuck at the bus stop at 2am.

Kingston University Minicabs for Students and Parents

Kingston University keeps our minicabs busy all year, and especially at the start and end of each term. Students move in and out with far more luggage than any bus can handle, and parents often travel in to help.

Which Kingston University Campus Do You Need?

The university has several sites, so check yours before you book. Penrhyn Road is the main campus, near the town centre on the Surbiton side. Knights Park sits by the river, and Kingston Hill is out towards the north-east of the borough. Tell us your campus and building, and we’ll drop you at the right gate.

Move-In Day Cars With Room for Everything

Duvets, boxes, a kettle and a lamp nobody can fit in a suitcase. For move-in day, an estate or MPV is the best choice. Tell us roughly how much you’re bringing, and we’ll send a car big enough for all of it.

Airport Transfers for Students Flying Home

Plenty of students fly home at the end of term, and visiting parents arrive at Heathrow or Gatwick. Our airport transfers go straight from halls to the terminal, with no train changes and no dragging cases through stations.

Kingston Station Taxi and Airport Runs

Kingston station has regular trains towards London, but heavy bags and late arrivals make a car the easier choice. A Kingston station taxi meets you off the train or drops you at the entrance with time to spare.

How Long Is a Taxi From Kingston to Heathrow or Gatwick?

Heathrow usually takes 25 to 35 minutes from Kingston outside rush hour, and Gatwick around 45 to 55 minutes. Both are fixed fares per car, so a family pays the same as a solo traveller. Book early for very early flights, and we’ll confirm a pickup time that gives you a comfortable margin.

Riverside Nights Out and the Ride Home

Kingston’s riverside and town centre stay busy late into the evening. Pre-book your journey home, and your driver will meet you at an agreed point, which is far easier than hunting for a car at closing time. We cover journeys back to Tolworth, Surbiton, New Malden, Chessington and beyond.

Hotel Transfers for Visitors Staying in Kingston

Visiting Kingston and staying in a local hotel? We’ll bring you from the airport or a London station and take you back at the end of your stay. See our hotel transfers page, or book each journey in the form above.
