About
Since 2009, Excelsior Taxis has been the premier choice for professional taxi services in Chipping Norton and the surrounding North Cotswolds area. Whether you need a local lift to Kingham station, a taxi in Charlbury, or a dependable airport transfer to Heathrow, Gatwick or Birmingham, our experienced team is here to help.
We pride ourselves on offering a versatile fleet, ranging from comfortable, spacious estate cars to 8-seater minibuses – perfect for group travel and Cotswold tours.
Your Local Choice in a World of Apps
As a family-run business, we believe that getting from A to B should be more than just a screen and a price. While global ride-sharing apps treat passengers like data points, we treat you like a friend.
As a locally owned and operated taxi service, we’ve built our reputation on the streets of Chipping Norton, providing a level of reliability and accountability that big-tech platforms simply can’t match.
Why Choose Local Over the App?
Choosing a local taxi firm isn’t just about supporting small businesses; it’s about a superior travel experience. Here is why we outshine the “big apps”:
True Local Knowledge:
Our drivers don’t just follow a blue line on a GPS. They know the shortcuts, the traffic patterns, and the “hidden” backstreets of the Cotswolds. We get you there faster because we actually know where we’re going
Accountability You Can Call:
If you leave your phone in an Uber, you’re stuck dealing with an automated support ticket. If you leave something in one of our cars, you can call our local office and speak to a real person immediately
Pre-Book with Confidence:
Need to be at the airport at 4:00 AM? Unlike apps where you “request” and hope someone is nearby, our pre-booking system guarantees your car will be there exactly when you need it.
More Than Just a Ride
We are proud to serve Chipping Norton and the surrounding areas. From daily commutes and school runs to late-night pickups and airport transfers, Excelsior Taxis is your local dependable partner on the road.
Dog-friendly Taxis
At Excelsior, dogs aren’t just allowed—they’re truly welcome. We understand that your pup is part of the family, which is why our dog-friendly taxi transfers are designed to make travel easy for both of you. Forget the stress of being turned away by standard apps; our drivers love meeting your four-legged friends and provide a safe, comfortable space for breeds of all sizes. From pet-friendly airport runs to local trips, we offer a reliable, cage-free environment where your dog can relax, ensuring every journey is as paws itive as possible. Please notify us at the time of booking so we can dispatch a dog-friendly vehicle.

We accept cash or card payments. For some destinations, an advanced payment might be required. If so, a payment link will be sent via text message or email directing you to SumUp for payment.

FAQ
Do you offer fixed prices for airport transfers?
Yes! We provide fixed-priced quotes for most major UK airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick, Birmingham and Bristol. Unlike apps that use “surge pricing,” the price we quote is the price you pay, regardless of traffic!
Can I book an 8-seater minibus for group travel?
Absolutely. We have several 8-seater minibuses in our fleet, perfect for wedding parties, golf trips, festivals, or large families travelling with a lot of luggage. We recommend booking these in advance to ensure availability
Are your drivers DBS-checked?
Yes, all our drivers are fully licensed by West Oxfordshire District Council and have undergone enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checks. Your safety is our top priority.
Do you allow dogs in your vehicles?
Of course, dogs are welcome in most of our vehicles; we do request that you notify us when you book.
Do you provide child car seats?
We do not provide car seats; passengers are welcome to bring their own. For return journeys, we are happy to store your seat securely at our office and have it ready in the vehicle for your arrival back to the airport.
Do you accept credit cards for payment?
Yes! We accept VISA, Mastercard, American Express (AMEX), and Apple Pay in the car with your driver.
