Find a local taxi in Nottingham
If you are looking for a taxi in Nottingham, minicabit can be used for pre-booked journeys around the city as well as longer trips across Nottinghamshire and the rest of the UK.
This could include a taxi to Nottingham city centre, Nottingham Station, a hotel, university, hospital, business meeting, restaurant, sporting event or a pickup from home. You can also enter neighbourhoods including Beeston, West Bridgford, Bulwell or other Nottingham pickup points directly into the booking form.
Nottingham City Council taxi guidance distinguishes between Hackney Carriages, which can be hailed or used from taxi ranks, and Private Hire Vehicles, which must be booked through an operator. minicabit is designed for pre-booked Private Hire Vehicle journeys, allowing you to compare available options before confirming your booking.
Compare cheap taxis in Nottingham
Rather than searching through Nottingham taxi numbers or contacting several Nottingham taxi companies individually, minicabit lets you instantly compare available fixed-price quotes in one place. You can review prices, vehicle options and customer reviews to select the quote that best suits your journey.
minicabit’s comparison technology presents quotes from licensed Cab operators near both your pickup and your destination, rather than just where your journey starts. This can give you a wider choice of available providers and competitive prices, particularly for longer-distance and one-way journeys to or from Nottingham.
For journeys around the wider county, minicabit also provides Mansfield taxis, Newark taxis, Retford taxis and Worksop taxis.
Nottingham taxi prices and fares
There is no single Nottingham taxi fare because the price depends on the journey being booked. Your pickup point, destination, cab pickup date and time, passenger numbers, luggage, vehicle requirements and available Cab operators can all affect the quotes presented.
With minicabit, you see your fixed price before confirming the booking, helping you compare available Nottingham taxi quotes without calling several companies separately. The price is fixed when you book, so it does not increase because demand is high later.
For another route, use minicabit’s taxi fare calculator to check the currently available prices.

Nottingham taxis for events, appointments and days out
A Nottingham taxi can be pre-booked for concerts, football matches, sporting events, hotels, restaurants, university journeys, hospital appointments, work trips and days out across the city.
Popular Nottingham destinations include Motorpoint Arena Nottingham in the Lace Market, which confirms its address as Bolero Square, Nottingham NG1 1LA. Other journey destinations can include Nottingham Station, the City Ground, Trent Bridge, Nottingham Castle and the Queen's Medical Centre.
For busy events, enter the exact pickup and destination when booking rather than simply entering “Nottingham”. This helps the comparison technology present quotes for the journey you actually need. For a group booking, add the full number of passengers and luggage so appropriate vehicle options can be presented.
Companies arranging staff journeys in Nottingham and elsewhere around the UK can also use minicabit’s business taxi service for centrally managed business bookings.
Vehicles, passengers and luggage
Choose your vehicle based on the number of passengers and the luggage you are taking.
Depending on availability for the journey, minicabit can present Standard and Executive vehicles, estates, MPVs, larger passenger vehicles, Electric Vehicles and Wheelchair-Accessible Vehicles.
When requesting your quote, enter your luggage as accurately as possible. minicabit uses the combination of passenger numbers and luggage requirements to help identify an appropriate vehicle size rather than relying on passenger numbers alone.
Wheelchair-Accessible Vehicles can be selected where available. Booking ahead is advisable where you require a particular vehicle type.
If you need a child seat, add the request in the Additional Information box when booking. Availability and any charge depend on the Cab operator, so requesting one in advance is recommended.
Multi-stop and return Nottingham taxi bookings
If your Nottingham taxi journey includes more than one destination, intermediate stops can be added when booking. These stops are intended to be brief rather than providing a by-the-hour driver service.
You can also arrange an outbound and return journey in the same transaction. The two journeys can take place up to 12 months apart and may use the same or different Private Hire Operators depending on the fixed quotes you select.
Waiting time, changes and cancellations
Airport pickups include 45 minutes of free waiting time, while all other pickups include 15 minutes of free waiting time at the original pickup point.
Free cancellation through minicabit applies before the booking’s cancellation cut-off time, shown clearly at booking. If you need to change your pickup time, you can update it online or, as a last resort, contact minicabit 24/7 by live chat, phone or email.
Changes and cancellations should be made through minicabit rather than directly through the Cab operator.
If the booked Cab operator cannot fulfil the booking, minicabit reallocates the journey to an alternative Cab operator at no extra cost to the customer.
