Services
I've run menswear shops in Carnaby St and the West End when flares were giving way to punk snot and safety pins right up to power dressing bricklayers and have written the odd column or two for whomever is silly enough to publish them. Bill was in the print trade when wooden blocks were carved for pictures.
We advise on timings and check flights for delays for a relaxed arrival and departure to your terminal. We provide full detailed invoicing with your own log in area to peruse and print current and past invoices. We make sure you're thinking of breakfast or lunch when you arrive and not running to a gate!.
Our prices for normal metered local fares are the same as the taxi rates set by our local authority. Charge is 15.00 (Temporarily increased from 12.50 by TFL) between 07.00am and 22.00pm seven days a week and must be added to any journey that terminates within the congestion zone. No charge our vehicles are Ulez charge exempt and will save you money because all our vehicles are compliant with the latest emmisions standards.
We can be additional cars and minibuses for your friends and extended family behind the main funeral cars. Our experience can make your day go as smooth as possible and we tailor our service to your exact needs. Our vehicles are driven by sympathetic, traditional dressed and extremely helpful drivers who can make any last minute changes happen.

Absolutely FANTASTIC. I was caught short for a school run, with no other cab companies even attempting to help, I had called The rather excellent carriage co, and a very nice man answered and said he would be with me in 15 minutes. 13 minutes later a beautiful car arrived, the driver opened our doors and we travelled locally in style to school. the driver asked if I needed a return trip back home (where I am working currently) which put my day back on schedule. I would HIGHLY recommend this company. friendly staff, stunning cars and cleanliness, and very affordable. Thank you for saving my day

Amazing service in a luxury car which really makes the difference when travelling. The driver was friendly and polite and immaculately dressed. All these little things really make the difference in my opinion, it was also very nice to have a drive who wasn’t talking on his phone while driving like a lot of Hastings taxi drivers do! 5* service and would only ever use this company now! Well done
