Minicab
A minicab is the practical choice when you want a booked car rather than waiting at a rank. Alpha Taxi handles everyday trips, planned collections, station runs and airport transfers across the UK, with pickups arranged to suit your timing.
People use this service for early flights, family visits, medical appointments, work travel and evenings out where a return time matters. We also take advance bookings for longer journeys, including direct trips to places such as the Tower of London, where a door-to-door car can be easier than changing trains with bags or children.
Fares are worked out in the usual way for the trade: distance, travel time and any waiting. If you already know your pickup point, drop-off, number of passengers and luggage, we can confirm the journey details clearly before the car is sent.
Book a minicab
To Book a minicab, send the journey details by phone, email or WhatsApp and we will confirm what is available. Contact Alpha Taxi on 0330 117 1584, email [email protected] or message WhatsApp 07875 492 899.
Useful details include:
- pickup address and destination
- date and time
- passenger numbers
- luggage, pushchairs or other large items
- flight or train details for transfer work
Some bookings are made well in advance, while others are for the same day if a driver is free. We can also work with flexible pickup and drop-off points where access or parking affects the collection.
Minicab for airport and station transfers
For Minicab for airport and station transfers, timing matters more than anything else. We plan these jobs around the departure or arrival time, and we use the flight or train information you provide to match the collection properly.
Airport runs often need extra notes. Tell us the terminal, airline, number of cases and whether you need more boot space. For station pickups, the station name and scheduled arrival time are usually enough, though the platform or meeting point can help on busy services.
Vehicles include standard saloons and estate cars, with larger vehicles available on request. That makes a difference for family holiday luggage, golf bags or small group travel.
Local and longer-distance minicab journeys
A Local and longer-distance minicab journeys booking can be as simple as a one-way trip across town or a pre-booked run much farther afield. Some passengers need a car for regular weekly appointments, while others only book when public transport does not fit the day.
Longer journeys are often chosen for direct travel with no changes and a set collection time. A trip to the Lake District National Park, for example, may suit passengers carrying walking gear or travelling together. For business users and organisers, we can also support planned transport where several people need collecting to a schedule.
Licensed minicab service with clear fares
With a Licensed minicab service with clear fares, the basics should be straightforward. Our drivers are licensed and insured, and the fare is based on distance, time and any waiting rather than vague estimates.
You should know what has been booked, where the car is collecting from, and what type of vehicle is expected. We aim to keep the service consistent from the time you book to the drop-off. If you need to discuss a pickup from our office address at 74B Hinckley Rd, Leicester LE3 0RD, that can be included in the booking notes.
