The Trips That Aren't the Airport
Most of what people ask Timo about is airport runs. A private hire taxi in Bath covers everything else too: the station at 6am, a night out that ran later than planned, moving a few boxes across town, getting to a hospital appointment on time. Booked in advance, same fixed price approach, same two vehicles.
What counts as a private hire taxi
Private hire means every journey is booked in advance and agreed before you get in the car, licensed by Bath & North East Somerset Council, but not the kind of taxi you hail on Milsom Street. That's a hackney carriage, and it's not what Timo is. Book ahead, and the car is outside your door at the time you asked for.
Most of that booking is local: Bath Spa station transfers, the drive home after a night out when the buses have stopped, a hospital or GP appointment, helping move a few boxes across the city. All of it priced the same way as an airport run, a fixed fare confirmed before you travel.
