Local Taxi Services in Exeter
Exeter is a compact city with a lot going on across its different areas, and an Exeter taxi is one of the most direct ways to move between them. Our drivers cover the city centre and the residential neighbourhoods that spread outward from it, collecting from homes, offices, hotels and university buildings across the city.
Regular pick-up and drop-off points include Exeter St Davids, the city's main railway station, and Exeter Central, which sits directly in the heart of the city off Queen Street. We also serve the Princesshay and Guildhall shopping areas, the business district around Marsh Barton, and the well-regarded residential streets of St Leonard's and Magdalen Road. Further out, our drivers reach Topsham, Heavitree, Wonford and Alphington, making the service practical for the full spread of the city.
Every journey is pre-booked, so a vehicle is reserved specifically for your time and your pick-up point. Driver details are sent in advance, the fare is fixed before the car arrives, and our team is available around the clock if your plans change at short notice.

Getting Around Exeter
Exeter has more layers of history than most English cities its size. Exeter Cathedral, a Norman and Gothic masterpiece at the heart of the city, draws visitors to the Cathedral Green, where the weekend market and the Christmas fair bring the surrounding streets to life. Beneath the High Street, the medieval Underground Passages - built in the fourteenth century to carry fresh water to the cathedral - remain one of the most unusual attractions in the South West.
The historic quayside along the River Exe is a short walk from the city centre, lined with independent cafes, antique shops and the Quay House visitor centre. Gandy Street, a narrow lane behind the High Street, is well known for its concentration of independent restaurants, bars and the Phoenix Arts Centre. The Royal Albert Memorial Museum on Queen Street is free to enter and covers Devon's natural and cultural history in depth.
For rail arrivals, Exeter St Davids is the principal mainline station on the western edge of the city, with Exeter Central located closer to the shopping streets and cathedral quarter. Our drivers meet passengers at both, as well as at the bus station and hotels across the city, linking each of these points to wherever you need to be in Exeter or beyond.
