Do you need a safe way to get your children to school or home from school and or activities? Longer distances to school, dance classes, sporting events, music lessons, scout meetings … they all add to the stress of busy parents like you.
London Black Taxis to the rescue! We can even arrange a shared school run, so that the cost can be shared between families.
For extra security, you can give us a “password” so that you can be assured that the correct driver and taxi is picking up your child.
Further Information
We endeavour to assign the same driver(s) to you every day. Depending on driver availability, you might have one driver in the morning and another driver in the afternoon, for example.
We recognise the importance of having consistency in the drivers so that you and the children get to know your driver(s) well. If occasionally a substitution is necessary, we would notify you in advance.
All of our drivers are licensed London taxi drivers (not mini-cab drivers or Uber drivers), have full criminal background checks, and are registered with Transport for London.
There is no contract or commitment. If you wish to cancel days on occasion, we just ask that you give us 24-hours’ notice.
Most of our taxis can hold 5 passengers, although we do have some 6-passenger taxis depending on availability, so a shared school run is possible. There is no additional “per person” cost, but multiple pick-up locations might mean a higher fare.
Billing is done weekly. We would hold your credit/debit card details on our secure payment server (Sage Pay), and your card would be billed once a week on Friday. A receipt would be emailed to you each week.
There will be no need to accompany your children except perhaps on the first journey if you feel it necessary.

Thanks, Mike,
Great to have a bit of reliability in this crazily unreliable world.
If you have time, I suggest that you seriously consider becoming Prime Minister (NOT Tory though!)
Kind regards,
Andrea
Hi Mike,
Friday is the last day of in person lessons this school year for the kids.

Mike, I wanted to thank you so much for providing us with a school run taxi these past few years. I have always had peace of mind knowing that you are picking our daughter up from school and that she is safe. You have no idea how much help you’ve been for us as a family with last minute pick ups, etc. So thank you again.
All the best,
Sarah
Hello Mike,
I wanted to send a note to say thank you for providing a terrific school taxi service for my daughter this school year.
Paul and Lee are perfect professional cab drivers for the job. Not only are they prompt, never late, in picking up my daughter, but they always drive clean cabs and drove her safely to school. My daughter also got something from the cab rides that we did not pay for. She made good friends with Paul and Lee. The conversation they had was especially helpful to her as she navigated through her first year here in London. Paul and Lee were a sounding board for her…a regular opportunity for “taxi cab confessions”.
Thank you also for your businesses’s sound billing practices. The weekly electronic bill and automatic debit made our business transactions easy.
Sincerely,
Charles
Hi Mike,
Well, we’re nearly at the end of a half term and I just wanted to say how pleased we are with how things are working out with our school run driver Lee. It really has been a life saver for us. Scott, our son, has adjusted quickly and got a good rapport going with Lee.
I’ve had a couple of local parents ask me about your service and I have referred them to you.
Anyway, thanks again to you and Lee.
Kind regards.
Martin
This will be the last week for Melanie’s school runs. She finishes school on Thursday. It has been a true pleasure working with you and we really appreciate your dependability and wonderful organisation in the past two years. If we need any help with school runs in the future, I do know who to call!
Regards,
Jay
Thanks for organising our driver Charlie to take our girls to school. The girls say he is so nice.
Regards, Carol
Thank you so much. The School Run service is a great service.
All the Best,

Hi Mike,
Many thanks for your flexibility and helpfulness over the past few months with our weekly school run – it has been much appreciated.
Regards,
St Paul’s Girl School
Your service has literally changed my life. As a busy working Mum I was having huge difficulties collecting my daughter from swim-training in the evenings whilst trying to get the baby ready for bed. It was impossible to be in two places at the same time. Now your driver Chris picks my daughter up after swimming and brings her home for me. He is always on time, I have no worries whatsoever about my daughter’s safety, and she loves it because he has a television in the cab which we don’t have in the car! Brilliant!!!!
Many many thanks,
Ann
Merry Christmas and thank you for always replying so promptly and getting my girls to school safely. Best wishes,
Jolana
