How it works

You name the fare. Drivers bid. You choose.

BarnsleyTaxis flips the usual taxi app on its head. Instead of a meter or surge pricing deciding what you pay, you say what you'd like to pay โ€” and local licensed drivers come to you with their price.

1

Name your fare

Pop in your pickup and drop-off โ€” search an address or drop a pin on the map. Add any extra stops, then tell us what you'd like to pay, or ask nearby drivers to quote you.

2

Drivers bid

Your request goes out to available licensed drivers near you. They send back their price. You'll see each driver's fare, star rating, car and how far away they are โ€” all in one place.

3

Choose & ride

Pick the driver that suits you โ€” cheapest, closest, best-rated, your favourite, whatever matters most. Track them to your door, and you're away. Rate them afterwards.

Why it's fairer

Built to be fair โ€” to you and your driver

No surge pricing, ever

Late at night, in the rain, on New Year's Eve โ€” the price is whatever you and your driver agree, not a multiplier bolted on when you're most stuck. You always know the fare before you book.

The price you agree is the price you pay

The fare is settled up front, directly between you and your driver. No meter creeping up in traffic, no mystery surcharges at the end.

Local, licensed drivers

Every driver on BarnsleyTaxis holds a Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council private-hire driver badge, drives a licensed and plated vehicle, and carries valid insurance. It's the same trusted pool of drivers that answers our long-standing phone line.

Better for drivers too

Because drivers set their own price and keep the fare, good local drivers are happy to take the work โ€” which means better availability for you.

App or phone โ€” same drivers

Not everyone wants an app, and that's fine. Our office is open 24/7 and feeds the very same licensed driver pool. Call, tell us where you're going, and we'll sort it.
