Local Taxi and Private Hire in Warwick
Pre-arranged local journeys across Warwick and communities within about seven miles, with the vehicle matched to your passengers and luggage before the day.
Overview
About Local taxi and private hire
Local journeys can be arranged to get passengers where they need to be at the agreed time, in a vehicle suited to the journey. Road Buddy Transport covers Warwick and communities within roughly seven miles of the town.
Because journeys are arranged in advance rather than dispatched on the spot, we can plan around the things that actually matter to you — a hospital appointment that must not be missed, a train you need to catch, a wheelchair that needs space, or four suitcases that will not fit in a saloon car.
For urgent or same-day enquiries, please call us. We will check whether a vehicle is genuinely available for that time rather than accept a journey we cannot cover.
Who local private hire suits
Local taxi work is for anyone who would rather arrange a journey properly than hope one appears.
- Residents of Warwick and nearby communities
- Passengers who prefer a pre-agreed price and time
- Anyone travelling to appointments or connections
- Families needing more seats than a saloon offers
- Passengers who would like assistance to and from the vehicle
- Visitors staying locally without a car
Journey types
Available local journeys
Shopping journeys
Town-centre and retail-park trips where you need help with bags on the way back as much as a lift on the way there.
Railway-station transfers
Pre-booked runs to and from local stations, planned around your train time rather than the traffic you hope to miss.
Family visits
Journeys to relatives and friends across Warwick, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth and the surrounding villages, including regular weekly visits.
Social occasions
Meals out, celebrations, theatre and evening events, with a return journey arranged at the same time so you are not left looking for a lift.
Business journeys
Meetings, site visits and local corporate travel where arriving on time and looking presentable matters.
Vehicles and access
Vehicle and accessibility considerations
Passengers can request 4, 6 or 8-seater vehicles according to passenger and luggage needs. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles can be arranged subject to requirements and availability.
Capacity is not just about seats. Pushchairs, shopping, walking frames and mobility equipment all take space, and a wheelchair position reduces the number of passenger seats available. Telling us what is travelling with you means the right vehicle turns up.
Helpful details to include

Questions
Local taxi and private hire questions
Can I book a local taxi for the same day?
Please call us to check availability. Our work is pre-arranged, so a same-day journey depends entirely on whether a vehicle is free at that time. We will confirm whether a vehicle is available for the requested time.
How far from Warwick do you cover for local work?
Our local operating area is approximately seven miles from Warwick, which includes Leamington Spa, Kenilworth, Whitnash, Barford, Hatton, Cubbington and the surrounding villages.
Do you charge a fixed local fare?
No. Each journey is priced individually based on the route, the time of travel, the number of passengers and any accessibility requirements. We give you the price for your journey before you confirm it.
Can you wait while I attend an appointment?
Tell us when you send your journey details. Depending on the length of the appointment we may hold the vehicle or arrange a separate return collection, and we will confirm which before travel.
Can you take more than four passengers locally?
Yes. 6 and 8-seater vehicles can be requested. Bear in mind that luggage, pushchairs and mobility equipment reduce the number of seats that are usable, so tell us what is travelling with you.
Safe Journeys. Trusted Care.
