Woking, our home town
A Woking taxi from XLNC Cars starts at our own office on 174 Goldsworth Road, in the town centre. We cover Woking and its villages 24 hours a day, with the fare fixed before the car moves: station runs, Heathrow in 25–40 minutes by the A320 and the M25, and the school, hospital and evening journeys in between.

What we cover
Most of our Woking work is ordinary and local, which is the point. These six are the journeys the town books most, each one pre-booked for a time rather than hailed, with the fare agreed first.
Fast trains reach London Waterloo in under half an hour, so the station is the busiest pickup we have. Dropped for your train, or met off it.
Heathrow is 18 miles by the A320 and the M25. Gatwick, Farnborough, Luton, Stansted and London City are booked the same way, flights tracked.
Woking Theatre, which many still call the New Victoria, dinner in Victoria Place, or the last train back from London, with a car booked for a time instead of a queue at the rank.
Woking Community Hospital on Heathside Road, and the nearest A&E hospitals: St Peter’s at Chertsey, the Royal Surrey at Guildford and Frimley Park.
The McLaren Technology Centre, the business parks off Albert Drive in Sheerwater and the town-centre offices, as a one-off or on a business account.
Horsell, Knaphill, Brookwood, Byfleet, Pyrford, Old Woking and Mayford are on the same booking line as the town centre, and one booking can take in more than one stop.
Who books it
Woking is a commuter town with Heathrow 18 miles up the road, so the pattern of our day follows the trains and the flights. These are the three passengers we plan the diary around.
Dropped at the station for the morning fast train and collected off the evening one, or a colleague met off the train from Waterloo and taken on to Albert Drive.
Families with luggage for Heathrow and Gatwick, and business passengers for Farnborough, who want the car at the door at 04:30 and nothing to think about after that.
Appointments at the community hospital, the weekly shop at Victoria Place, a teenager collected from Woking Theatre, and the Friday night home from the town centre.
Fixed fares
A Woking taxi fare from us is one number, told to you before you travel. We do not run a meter and we do not publish a tariff, because the price of a run to Horsell and a run to Southampton have nothing in common.
Where we collect you, where you are going, the vehicle class you choose and the hour. Waiting time or a return leg is added only if you ask for it.
A slow morning on the A320, roadworks on the M25 or a train that arrives twenty minutes late does not move the figure.
Cash or card in the car, or on account for Woking businesses that book regularly and prefer one invoice.
Pickups and routes
Anywhere in the borough. Woking leaves for the motorways two ways: the A320 north to M25 Junction 11 for Heathrow and the east, or the A322 past Knaphill and Brookwood to the M3 at Junction 3 for Farnborough, Southampton and the west. Here is where most Woking bookings start and end.
Both entrances. Tell us the train and which side you will leave by, and the car is waiting there.
The shops, Woking Theatre and the Hilton on Church Street West, collected at the time you set.
Office pickups and client collections at the McLaren campus on the edge of town and the business parks in Sheerwater.
Brookwood station and the village sit west of the town on the A322. The village has its own page, with every one of its airport routes.
Brookwood taxi →About 18 miles, typically 25–40 minutes: M25 Junction 14 for Terminals 4 and 5, Junction 15 and the M4 spur for 2 and 3.
Woking to Heathrow →About 37 miles, typically 50–65 minutes, round the M25 from Junction 11 to the M23, with both terminals served.
Woking to Gatwick →How it works
Call, message or fill in the form. However you start, the booking follows the same four steps and ends with a confirmed car and a fare that does not change.
Pickup in Woking, destination, date and time. Add the flight number or the train you are on and we track it.
Standard Saloon, Executive, VIP and Minibus. One fixed fare for the class you pick, confirmed before you travel.
At your door, the station entrance you named or the arrivals hall, on time and with room for the bags.
Luggage in and out at both ends, the route that is running best on the day, and nothing extra to pay at the end.
Questions
Yes, and it is the pickup we do more than any other. Give us the train you are on and we watch its arrival, so if it runs late the car is moved rather than left waiting at the kerb. Tell us which side of the station you will come out on and the driver stands there, not somewhere you have to hunt for.
Yes, a 24 hour taxi in Woking is exactly what we run. The booking line is answered through the night, every night of the year, and our office is on 174 Goldsworth Road in the town itself. A 04:30 pickup for a Heathrow flight and a 01:00 collection after the last train both go through the same system, with the same licensed drivers and the same fixed fare.
Three ways. Call 01483 310310, send a WhatsApp message to 447733888235, or use the form at the top of this page. We need the pickup address, where you are going, the date and time, and a flight or train if there is one. You get one fixed fare back and a confirmed car.
We quote one fixed figure for your exact journey before you book, based on the pickup, the destination, the vehicle class and the time of day. There is no meter, so a slow A320 or a diversion does not change what you pay. We do not publish a tariff because a run across town and a run to Stansted are different jobs; send us the journey and the fare comes straight back.
Heathrow is about 18 miles from Woking, 25–40 minutes on a normal run. We leave on the A320 to M25 Junction 11, then take Junction 14 for Terminals 4 and 5 or Junction 15 and the M4 spur for Terminals 2 and 3. Before 08:00 the A320 between the town centre and the junction can add a quarter of an hour on its own, so we suggest a pickup time that allows for it.
Yes. XLNC Cars is based at 174 Goldsworth Road, Woking, GU21 6NF, and has worked from the town for more than 30 years. Every driver is licensed and vetted. We are not an app with cars passing through; the drivers who collect you know Horsell, Knaphill and Old Woking as well as the town centre.
Ask four things. Is the fare fixed before you travel or metered on the day? Is the phone answered at night by someone who can put a car on? Are the drivers licensed and vetted? Can you pay by card as well as cash? Our answer to all four is yes, and the fare you are quoted is the fare you pay, booked a month ahead or an hour before.
Yes. Cash or card, whichever you tell us when you book. Business customers can also open an account and settle by invoice instead of paying journey by journey.
Children aged three and over can travel in a licensed taxi without a car seat as long as they sit in the back. You are welcome to bring your own seat and the driver will wait while you fit it; if you tell us when booking, we allow the extra minute.
Every car we send comes with a professional driver, so the difference is the class of car and the style of the booking. Standard Saloon is the everyday Woking taxi; Executive and VIP are the chauffeur classes for client pickups and occasions; the Minibus takes a group with luggage. The booking process and the fixed fare work the same way for all four.
The cars
A clean car and a licensed driver in the class you booked. Standard Saloon covers most Woking journeys; Executive and VIP are there for business and occasions; the Minibus takes a group and its luggage to Heathrow in one car.
Send us the pickup, the destination and the time. We reply with one fixed fare and a confirmed car. The station on a Monday morning, Heathrow before dawn and Southampton Cruise Terminal for a cruise are all booked this way.
