Barnet & High Barnet Taxi Service — Licensed Private Hire & Airport Transfers

Q: Is your Barnet taxi service a licensed private hire service?

A: Yes — every Barnet taxi we run is a licensed private-hire vehicle, booked in advance rather than hailed. You get a named, vetted driver, a fully licensed and insured car, and a fixed price agreed before you travel — across Chipping Barnet, High Barnet, New Barnet and the surrounding areas. It's the pre-booked, accountable way to travel, not a cab flagged in the street.

Q: Which airports do you cover from Barnet, and what does it cost?

A: We run fixed-fare transfers from Barnet to every London airport — London City, Heathrow, Luton, Stansted (our home base) and Gatwick. The fare is agreed when you book, with no meter and no surge, and airport runs include flight monitoring and a meet-and-greet on arrival. Whichever airport you fly from, it's one trusted firm and one fixed price.

Q: Is a taxi quicker than the Tube or train to the airport from High Barnet?

A: Usually, yes. Because High Barnet is at the end of the Northern line, public transport to the airports means two or three changes and well over an hour — Stansted is around 1h 37m and Luton around 1h 46m by train and Tube. By car it's roughly 25 to 45 minutes door to door, with no changes and no dragging luggage between platforms — which is why most of our airport customers book a car.

Q: Do you pick up from High Barnet station and across the borough?

A: Yes — High Barnet station pick-ups are one of our most common jobs, along with New Barnet, East Barnet, Whetstone and Totteridge. As the Northern line terminus, High Barnet is busy with commuters, so we cover the early starts and late finishes the Tube cannot. Tell us your time and a driver will be waiting.

Q: Do you have larger vehicles for groups or extra luggage?

A: Yes — alongside saloons we run estates for extra luggage, six-seat MPVs and eight-seat Mercedes Vito vehicles, ideal for family airport runs or a group travelling together. Child seats are provided free of charge. Just tell us your group size and luggage when you book and we'll send the right vehicle.

Q: How do I book a Barnet taxi and how do fares work?

A: Booking takes about thirty seconds online or by phone — get a fixed-fare quote, confirm pick-up and destination, and you're set. The price quoted is the price you pay, with no meter and no surge. We take card, PayPal, cash and corporate accounts, and the booking line is open 24/7.
