How It Works
Getting taxis at Paddington Station London should be hassle-free and it is with RideOn Minicabs. You may have to join a line at the taxi rank at Paddington station above platform 12 and pay a fare on the meter; or you can pre-book, and you know how much the car will cost before you even get there.

Please inform you to Paddington station taxi pick up and drop off location, date, and time.

Once you've populated your information into our system, our system immediately provides you with the most appropriate fixed price for your specific route, without having to ask for meter, or estimates and no nasty surprises later. You can add a stop if you wish, by using the "Add Waypoints" option, and the quote is automatically updated. What you see is what you pay for.
Then select a vehicle that is appropriate for your trip. We have a full range of vehicles based on group sizes and luggage capacity, ensuring you always pay for what you need and don't end up in a smaller vehicle. Travelling alone or as a couple? A saloon is both relaxing and inexpensive. Going to a meeting or just looking for a handsome appearance? Mercedes executive cars such as the E-Class provide a luxurious driving experience. Travel with a family or group, or take multiple suitcases off the Heathrow Express? Everyone can travel together in our MPVs and 8-seaters without having to worry about lugging around their suitcases. How many passengers and how many bags it can hold are clearly written on each option, so you will know immediately which one you choose.
Lastly, make an online taxi booking with secure and fast credit card payment. Your booking is encrypted and secure, and you'll be notified immediately by e-mail and SMS, and your driver's name and contact information.
