Hello from the team at Textacab!
Our taxi company was founded in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, in 2005 and – despite some ups and downs, particularly during the Covid pandemic – we continue to thrive and strive to be the best taxi provider in the West, even though we’re not the biggest.
When we started out we were blazing a trail! Back in the early 2000s, before smartphones were mainstream, using text (SMS) messages to book a cab from your mobile phone was a novel and innovative idea. We created Textacab and the business model proved to be a roaring success.
Texting for a taxi is still a quick, convenient way to book a ride that works well today – or you can give us a call if you prefer – so we’re pleased to say we are still driving happy customers around our local area in Wiltshire, and delivering them to destinations further afield (including airports) whenever they need transport.
The driving forces behind Textacab are Chris and Matt – our top drivers who each have more than 20 years’ experience driving taxis, and wouldn’t want to do anything else. Both are dedicated to their occupation because they not only enjoy being behind the wheel, but are also truly “people persons”.
When he’s not in the driver’s seat, Chris takes time out to run his own darts league. When Matt’s not working you’ll probably track him down at Silverstone where he volunteers as a steward at the iconic raceway.
We also have to give a special mention to Davinia, whom we have designated “the brain behind our outfit”. She ensures everything is running smoothly both with vehicle maintenance and legal compliance.
We’re a happy bunch, and we hope our enjoyment of our work is infectious, because our aim is to have happy, satisfied clients who appreciate our professional yet friendly approach.
Our local “short hop” taxi service is available in and around Melksham, Trowbridge and Bradford-on-Avon between 7am and 6pm from Monday to Saturday.
Text or call to request a ride, but we can’t guarantee availability unless you book in advance.
Our fair priced quotes and the appeal of stress-free travel means our airport transfer taxi service is extremely popular.
We will pick you up from any address in our area (including Chippenham, Westbury and Frome) in time to make your flight from any airport, and meet you to bring you back again on your return if you wish.
Our airport transfers must be booked well in advance, particularly if they involve early starts or travel on a Sunday.
If you have to travel long distance for any reason – whether it’s for a family gathering, celebration, business meeting or any other event – we’ll get you there safe and sound.
We can transport a maximum of 12 passengers and accompanying luggage.
Just get in touch to discuss your requirements and make arrangements.
Why not come on a drive with us and experience our professional, useful and affordable long-distance or local taxi service?
