Welcome

Welcome to the official site of Longleys Private Hire, Canterbury’s largest and most popular Private Hire Car Service. This is where you can find out all about our company, our values and what makes us a better alternative to a Taxi in Canterbury.

You can always spot a Longleys Car, they are the bright red ones you see whizzing around Canterbury 24 hours a day – give the drivers a wave, if they spot you they will wave back! We also have larger vehicles available for group bookings. At short notice we can provide 6 and 8 seat MPV’s, and for advance bookings can provide anything up to 37 seat coaches, which are also available for European Travel.

Our Air Conditioned Fleet covers all areas within the Canterbury district, all London airports and are tracked using the latest GPS technology and a unique computer despatch system that makes us one of the most efficient transportation services in the area.

We believe strongly in fairness and honesty. Unlike other Canterbury Taxi Operators, we don’t charge any extra for travelling at night or at weekends. Our fares are fixed by mileage, rather than the lottery of a taxi-meter. Because the Taxi-meter is not involved, our passengers never get penalised for heavy traffic. We also believe in clear communication – we only have so many resources, so when we get busy at peak times we tell you just that. If for any reason the car isn’t going to be exactly on time, our control room will call you with as much notice as possible. We arrive at over 97% of our bookings early! So don’t worry too much.

Please feel free to have a good look around and find out what makes Longleys Private Hire so popular with the local and business population of Canterbury.
