Keith's Private Hire

The information you provide will allow me to share my availability and offer a cost-effective fixed price quote for your trip to any destination in mainland UK for individuals, couples, familes and groups for up to 8 passengers.

The only permitted travel is Assistance Dogs, under the Equality Act 2010, taxi and private hire vehicle (PHV) drivers in the UK must carry assistance dogs (such as guide or hearing dogs) at no extra charge. A driver can only refuse an assistance dog if they hold a valid medical exemption certificate (usually for severe allergies) issued by their local authority, which must be clearly displayed in the vehicle.

Apologies, I no longer provide a pickup service from events or venues after 23:00 hrs, this is due to early morning airport drop-off or pickup bookings, wherby I need enough rest to avoid driver fatigue.

No additional charges apply for unsociable hours or public holidays. The price quoted covers all airport fees. GUARANTEED.

Areas covered for pickup and drop-offs are Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Berkshire, West Sussex and Surrey

To ensure a seamless and stress-free journey, please take into account the following departure times from Hythe Southampton, ajust accordingly to your pickup location to the airport you are departing from and allocate additional time for multiple pickups. Be aware of major roadworks, closures, diversions, slow traffic, and accidents. It is advisable not to rely solely on Google Maps for timing, as it may not accurately reflect your travel duration when you look. The guidance below is designed to help you arrive with ample time to spare.

Your airline will specify how early you should arrive at the airport—typically two hours before departure for UK and European flights, and three hours for long-haul services. Use this recommended arrival time in conjunction with the guide below to calculate when to leave home. Simply add the two together and count back from your scheduled departure time. Following this approach ensures you’ll waltz into the airport with plenty of time, feeling as cool as a cucumber and a stress-free start to your journey or holiday.

Cruise ship companies usually send out your boarding time 2-3 weeks before you set sail. So, if you're still waiting for that golden ticket and decide to guess your time, changing your pickup time for the cruise terminal might be trickier than finding a towel on the pool deck. But hey, I'll do my best to work some magic!, However my advice is to come back when you have the information on your boarding time, as it's not open ended.

It is common not to be informed about your disembarkation time until the day before arrival at the port, with updates provided in the morning. However, I am here to assist if you have a specific time in mind to avoid the queues. You can bypass this and speedup your disembarkation by keeping your luggage in your room and carrying it off yourself. On the enquiry form, specify 09:00 hrs, as this is when most passengers disembark—unless you're one of those fancy priority passengers with a golden ticket with a designated disembarkation time. If you choose a different time after 09:00 hrs you will not be able to change the pickup time on the day as this is not open ended. Please be aware that taxis at the cruise terminals are very expensive, and there may be a significant wait. I recommend pre-booking your transportation now.

For any extra pickups and drop-offs, you must provide the full address or addresses. Without this information, your request will be REJECTED and moved to the back of the queue until you provide the details. This safeguarding policy is in place to protect both parties.

If you can stick to one address for your pickup and drop-off, your wallet will thank you, as each one will add to the cost of the quote.

Upon submitting the enquiry, a copy will be emailed to you. Please review it carefully to ensure all details are correct. If any amendments are required, contact me as soon as possible so I can update the information and issue a revised copy for your confirmation.

I will review my schedule based on the information you provided and will send you an email with my availability and a quote within 24 hours.

Due to my work schedule, which includes a combination of regular and irregular hours, I’m only able to respond after I’ve finished driving and returned home, where I can review your enquiry more thoroughly before replying.

If I am available, the booking can be confirmed within 24 hours once a minimum £30 deposit or full payment has been received.

I assure you of a professional, reliable, seamless, and stress-free service that will fulfill your expectations.
