Taxi Drivers for businesses around the Bournville Lane factory site in Bournville
Bournville businesses inside B30 get a named contact, agreed rates and 24-hour cover. Self-employed taxi drivers and private hire firms who lose income the moment a car stops moving. Everything runs off our own trucks on the Birmingham City Council rota. It is the difference between covering West Midlands and actually working it. Access off A441 narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch. 8 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. Common collection points: the Bournville Lane factory site, the parking by Bournville railway station, and factory buildings.

Yes, just tell us when you call so we can help you sort the best option for your passenger as well as the vehicle.
Do you offer any arrangement for private hire firms with several drivers in Bournville?
