001 Taxis

In central Oxford, 001 Taxis combines a taxi rank and waiting room with a network of vehicles serving the city and surrounding area. Its New Inn Yard depot, just off St Aldates and opposite the Town Hall, is a starting point for local rides and longer trips. The company describes it as a staffed rank open throughout the day, giving passengers a place to find a cab without relying solely on an advance booking.

The service covers journeys around Oxford, nearby towns, and connections to rail stations, hospitals, and airports. Its website lists routes to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, Birmingham, and Bristol, as well as trips to Abingdon, Didcot, Kidlington, Wallingford, Woodstock, and Bicester. It publishes fixed fares from the central rank for several destinations; routes not listed are quoted separately.

Vehicle choice depends on the size of the group and its luggage. Standard cars carry up to four passengers and two suitcases; estate cars also seat four and provide more room for larger bags. Executive cars offer a more spacious interior, while five- to eight-seat minibuses are intended for groups or transfers with extra luggage. The website gives different capacities by vehicle type, so it helps to consider baggage as well as passenger count when booking.

The depot offers amenities that turn a curbside wait into an indoor stop: the company describes a staffed waiting room with seating, coffee and soft-drink machines, a TV, Wi-Fi, and a customer restroom. It also lists an entertainment arcade for adults 18 and older and nighttime security staff. These features belong to the St Aldates depot and should not be assumed at every home or airport pickup.

To arrange a ride, 001 Taxis accepts bookings and quote requests through its website, WhatsApp, and mobile app. The company says more than 600 vehicles are connected to the app. Its site also lists corporate accounts, priority service, student transportation, chauffeur service, and collection and delivery, extending the offer beyond a standard point-to-point taxi ride.

Company materials also list an address at Unit C, Bishops Mews, Transport Way, Cowley, Oxford OX4 6HD, in connection with corporate-account paperwork. It is separate from the public New Inn Yard depot, which the current website identifies as the taxi rank and waiting room. For travelers, that distinction matters: the central site is the place to walk up and find a cab, while the Cowley address is company administrative information.

For air travel, the website describes flight monitoring and an airport meet-and-greet option. These features complement the ride between the terminal and the destination: a booking can be arranged around the actual arrival and the vehicle needed rather than treating every trip as a routine city ride.
