It's a far cry from what it is today! Back in 1972, Fred Hancox set up Freds Taxis and within the first 18 months, the taxi fleet had tripled in size. Expansion was Fred's vision and over the coming years, Freds Taxis rebranded to what we know today as Near-N-Far in 1988. This expansion lead to the purchase of our head office and depot at Canalside in Ilkeston in 1994.
Whether it's business or pleasure, our airport taxi service provides a relaxed start (or end) of your journey to all the major UK airports to and from Ilkeston. We cover all the major destinations including East Midlands Airport, Birmingham International, Doncaster, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool John Lennon, Luton, Manchester, Stansted and the various terminals at London Heathrow and Gatwick.

Love this company. Blow taxi man out of the water for service. Especially car 34 always makes me feel so welcome and comfortable. Needs a pay rise!
