Excelsior Cars: airport transfers and taxis from Walsall across the West Midlands

Excelsior Cars is a taxi and private hire operator based in Walsall, West Midlands. The company describes a fast-growing fleet and a team of professional in-house drivers covering Birmingham, Cannock, Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall, Wolverhampton and surrounding areas. It states that it has been serving travellers for more than ten years and that all drivers are DBS-checked.

The core activity is airport transfer work, complemented by long-distance taxis, executive travel and a courier service. The company says it does not outsource driving to third parties and that its vehicles are well maintained and fully insured.

Airport transfers to major UK airports

Excelsior Cars advertises transfers to Birmingham Airport (BHX), Manchester Airport (MAN), Heathrow Airport (LHR), East Midlands Airport and London airports. For airport pick-ups, the company tracks flight status and adjusts the collection time for delays. A meet-and-greet option is available, with the driver meeting passengers inside the airport; the booking form lists this as an optional £5.00 extra.

The booking process asks for flight number and arrival details, and allows passengers to enter “TBC” when the flight is not yet confirmed. The company states that the only additional charge beyond the quoted fare is airport parking, where applicable.

Vehicle classes and passenger capacity

The fare calculator presents several vehicle categories with stated passenger and luggage limits:

• Saloon car: up to 4 passengers, 2 suitcases and 2 hand bags.
• Estate car (VW Golf Estate or similar): 4 passengers and 4 medium suitcases.
• Executive car (E-Class Mercedes, Audi A6 or similar): 4 passengers, 2 suitcases and 2 hand bags.
• MPV6 (Seat Alhambra, Toyota Previa or similar): 5 passengers with 5 suitcases, or 6 passengers with 6 hand bags.
• Mercedes V-Class: 7 passengers, 7 suitcases and 4 hand bags.
• 8-seater (Vauxhall Vivaro, VW Transporter or similar): 8 passengers, 8 large suitcases and 8 hand bags.

The site notes that larger luggage requirements need a larger vehicle. Child seats are offered as booking options: a rear-facing baby seat at £9, a forward-facing child seat at £6 and a booster seat at £3.

Pricing, coverage and service conditions

Quotes are generated through an online fare calculator that asks for pick-up and drop-off locations, vehicle class and journey details. The company states that quoted prices include VAT and credit card charges, and that the only extra is airport parking where applicable. It also notes that, because of high demand from customers outside its core service areas, an additional call-out charge may apply to cover extended travel distances.

The company presents itself as multi-award winning and highly rated, and states that it is rated Excellent on Trustpilot and Google with thousands of customer reviews across multiple platforms. These ratings are the company’s own description of its review standing.

Booking and practical details

Bookings can be made through the website’s multi-step form, which covers service selection, locations, vehicle choice, passenger and luggage counts, flight details, optional meet-and-greet and child seats, and a return journey if needed. The company states that it operates 24/7.
