Chauffeur hire · Ripley
Ripley earned the nickname 'the Mecca of all good cyclists' during the Victorian cycling boom, and while the village has no railway station of its own — regular buses connect it to Guildford instead — it's never short of visitors. XLNC Cars has chauffeured passengers around Ripley, Send, West Clandon and Woking for more than 30 years, filling the gap a missing station leaves with a punctual, comfortable alternative.

Ripley's Victorian cycling reputation still draws visitors today, even if most of our passengers arrive by car rather than bicycle. With no station in the village itself, we're regularly asked to bridge the gap to Guildford or Woking for onward rail travel.
No two Ripley bookings look quite alike. One week it's a private tour taking in the village's cycling history; the next it's an airport transfer, a day of business meetings, a shopping trip, or personal travel that has nothing to do with bikes at all.
More than 30 years of experience, a fully vetted and CRB-checked team, and a fleet ranging from the Standard Saloon to the VIP Mercedes S-Class are why Ripley clients choose us over the alternatives. We're honest that we're not the cheapest, but we are consistently rated 5.0 on Google.

In their words
“Booked a chauffeur for an early airport run and the car was outside five minutes before pickup. Smooth, quiet journey and the driver knew the fastest route around the roadworks.”
“We use XLNC Cars for client visits regularly. The vehicles are always spotless and the drivers are properly turned out — it reflects well on us, not just them.”
“Hired the VIP car for a wedding and it made the whole day feel special. Punctual, professional, and the driver waited patiently through the photos.”
Good to know
Yes, this is one of our regular Ripley bookings, timed around your departure so you're never rushing.
Send and West Clandon are both close enough that we treat them as part of the same patch as Ripley — no need to check first, just tell us where.
