Skyline Taxis, taxi service in Milton Keynes and surrounding areas

Skyline Taxis & Private Hire Ltd is a family-run passenger transport company established in 1985 and based in Milton Keynes. The company presents itself as the longest-serving private hire company in the area and as the largest operator in Milton Keynes and the counties of Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire. Its activity covers local journeys, airport transfers, executive and VIP services, corporate accounts and transport with wheelchair-accessible vehicles.

Transport services

The company offers a service available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with a fleet that includes saloon cars, estate cars, executive vehicles, MPVs, minibuses and wheelchair-accessible vehicles. Its services include transfers to UK airports and seaports, hotel transfers, VIP chauffeur service and business taxi service. The company states that it operates with fixed prices for airport journeys and that its fares are low and competitive thanks to the experience of its local drivers.

Booking via mobile app

Skyline Taxis has Android and iPhone apps that allow you to book, track the vehicle and pay for the journey. The company states that booking can be completed in three clicks and that the app saves your regular pick-up points. The user can add the destination to get a quote and help the driver plan the route. The app allows you to pre-book, cancel the booking and make special requests, such as hiring a minibus or several vehicles for a group. It also offers a cashless payment option: the user saves their card details, selects that payment method and, upon arriving at the destination, the amount is charged automatically and a receipt is sent by email on behalf of the driver. The website also allows online booking after a one-time registration.

Business accounts

The company offers professionals and businesses the option to open a corporate account. Business account clients have priority service, credit facilities with password or PIN protection, and printed invoices and statements detailing all journeys. The company notes that businesses in Milton Keynes can use its executive vehicles for short or long-distance journeys.

Drivers and licences

Skyline Taxis recruits professional drivers and is looking to expand its team. To drive with the company, applicants must be over 21 years old and hold a full driving licence with no endorsements; the company guides candidates through the licensing process with the local authority. The company states that all vehicles are inspected by Milton Keynes Council and that drivers are only licensed after passing a criminal record check (CRB). All bookings are tracked by GPS.
