Who We Are

45+ Years of Reliability You Can Count On Every Time

Express Cars has carried Ashford passengers for well over four decades. Based in Staines and Ashford, our minicabs are just a phone call away, whether for a short local trip, a quick errand or a transfer to Heathrow Airport.

Our fleet stays on standby around the clock, which is why our response times rank among the quickest in the area. Every car is cleaned regularly and kept roadworthy, driven by a licensed professional. Whatever fare you're quoted at booking is exactly what you'll pay, so there are no last minute surges and no hidden extras.

Common Questions

Before you book.

The questions passengers ask most. Can't find yours? Our operators are on hand around the clock.

You'll receive the driver's details before your journey begins, including their name, phone number and full car registration, so you can spot each other with ease. If you ever can't locate your driver, contact them first, or call one of our operators and we will assist you.

Each airport has a designated meeting point at the arrivals hall, for example, near WHSmith at Heathrow T2, or near Costa Coffee at T5. With our meet & greet service, your driver waits inside the terminal holding a board with your name.

A saloon fits 3 passengers with 2 hand luggage and 2 small-to-medium checked items. For large suitcases, we recommend an estate. Groups of up to 8 with full luggage are covered by our Large MPV. Unusual items? Just tell us when booking and we'll recommend the right car.

Nothing you need to worry about. All flights are tracked in real time and drivers are dispatched according to your actual arrival. The car is there when you land, not when you were scheduled to.

Over 45 years. We started out as a single Ashford taxi rank back in the 1970s and have grown into a full fleet since, but we're still family-run, local and built on the same licensed, fixed-fare service that got us here.
