Cranleigh & the villages

Cranleigh Taxi for a Village With No Station

A Cranleigh taxi from XLNC Cars is booked in advance at a fixed fare, 24 hours a day. Cranleigh has no railway station, so the car does the whole journey: to Guildford station for a train, or straight to the airport. Gatwick is 27 miles away, typically 45–65 minutes.

Time

What we cover

What does a Cranleigh taxi from us cover?

With no station in the village, a taxi in Cranleigh is often the first leg of every trip, not an extra. These are the six journeys we are booked for, each with the fare agreed before you travel.

Airport transfers

Farnborough, Gatwick and Heathrow from your door, flights tracked.

Station connections

To Guildford station for the train, and met off it again on the way home.

Cranleigh School visits

Parents, visitors and luggage to and from the school, booked for the time you need.

Village to village

Ewhurst and Alfold and the lanes around Cranleigh, door to door.

Evenings out

A dinner or a show in Guildford, with the ride home booked before you go.

Business and long distance

Executive cars for meetings, and long runs with the same driver throughout.

Who books it

Who books a taxi in Cranleigh?

Cranleigh has no railway station at all, which is why so much of our work here is airport transfers and station connections rather than short hops. These are the three kinds of passenger we plan around.

Flyers

Holidays and business trips from the front door, with Gatwick and Farnborough both within about an hour.

Rail travellers

Anyone catching a train, since the village line closed in 1965: we run to Guildford station and back.

Families and visitors

Parents visiting Cranleigh School, guests arriving in the village, and a night out without anyone driving.

Fixed fares

How your fixed fare works

We do not publish taxi prices, because a run to Guildford station and a Stansted transfer are very different jobs. You get one fixed fare for your exact journey before you travel, and there is no meter running.

What sets the fare

Pickup and destination, the vehicle class, the time of day, and any waiting or return you add.

Agreed before you travel

The fare does not move if the A281 is slow, the train is late or the flight lands behind schedule.

No meter, no surge

No meter runs and there is no surge pricing. Pay by cash or card, as you tell us when booking.

Pickups and routes

Where can a Cranleigh taxi collect you and take you?

From Cranleigh we take the A281 toward Guildford, the road north to Guildford and its station. For the northern airports we carry on from Guildford up the A3 to M25 Junction 10. These are the main pickups and runs.

Cranleigh School

Drop-offs and collections for visitors, timed to the day you give us.

Guildford station

Up the A281 in Guildford: dropped for your train, or met off it on the way home.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you run a Cranleigh taxi 24 hours a day?

Yes. Our booking line runs 24/7, 365 days a year, and Cranleigh is inside our coverage area from the Woking base. Early-morning airport runs and late-night pickups are booked in advance in the normal way, with the fare fixed when you book.

Does Cranleigh have a railway station?

No. Its own rail line closed in 1965 and is now the Downs Link path. Taxis in Cranleigh fill that gap: we drive you to Guildford station or another mainline station, or skip the train and take you the whole way.

How far is Cranleigh from Farnborough Airport?

21 miles, typically 40–60 minutes by road, the closest of the airports we serve from Cranleigh. Gatwick is close behind at 27 miles. For the northern airports we take the A281 toward Guildford, then the A3 to M25 Junction 10.

Where in Cranleigh will you pick me up?

Anywhere in the village or the surrounding area: your home, office or a landmark. Cranleigh High Street, Cranleigh School and the village centre are all regular pickup points, and we also collect from Guildford, Ewhurst and Alfold.
