Our Story
Number 6 Taxis is a cooperative of Bideford taxi businesses that have merged over time. Many established and well-respected local firms, including Quay Cars, Bideford Taxis, D&K Taxis, Wes Taxis, Central Cars, and many independent operators, have joined forces to create a single booking line. This merger has enabled us to offer our customers a quicker and more reliable service. By pooling resources and reducing dead mileage, we can pass on the benefits to our customers in the form of lower prices.
Our Services
We offer a range of services designed to cater to all your transportation needs. From saloons to estates, 7 and 8-seat people carriers, executive cars, and wheelchair mobility vehicles, we have the right vehicle for you. Our well-presented, professional drivers are trained to the highest standards and have undergone criminal record checks and Torridge District Council vetting procedures. Whether you need a taxi for a short journey or a long-distance trip, we guarantee a safe and comfortable ride.
Lower Price Guarantee
We offer pre-booked fixed rates that are guaranteed to be lower than the metered fare on journeys over 10 miles. Some of our most popular Lower Price Guaranteed fares include Bideford to Central Barnstaple, Bideford to NDDH Barnstaple, and many more. Our Lower Price Guarantee applies to any journey that is likely to cost over 20 on the meter. Just call us on Bideford (01237) 666 666 to get a quote and let us take care of the rest.
