Private Hire Taxis in Solihull | KGN Executive Transfers

Private hire taxis in Solihull.

KGN Executive Transfers is a family-run private hire firm based in Solihull. We drive people to the shops, the station, appointments, nights out and the airport, locally and anywhere in the UK. You get a fixed price before you travel, a clean car and a driver who knows the roads, with female drivers on request.

What is private hire, and how is it different from hailing a cab?

Private hire means the journey is booked before the car comes to you. You tell us where you are, where you are going and when, and we send a car and a driver for that job. Because the trip is arranged in advance, the price is agreed in advance too, so there is no meter ticking while you sit in traffic on the A41 or wait at the lights in Shirley.

Most of what we do is everyday private hire at everyday prices: a lift to Touchwood, a run to Solihull station, a hospital appointment, a meal out in Knowle or Dorridge, or a late return from Birmingham after a concert. The executive cars are there for the days that call for them, and you only pay for them when you choose them.

Where do you cover?

We are based in Solihull, and most local journeys start in Solihull, Shirley, Knowle, Dorridge, Meriden and Balsall Common. We also run regularly into Birmingham and Coventry and down to Warwick, Kenilworth, Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon. If your journey goes further, we travel nationwide, door to door, so a trip to see family at the other end of the country is the same booking as a run to the station.

Call 0121 414 0786 for Solihull, Birmingham and the surrounding areas, or 01676 478786 if you are in Meriden or Balsall Common.

Which car will I get?

For one to four passengers with a couple of cases, a standard saloon does the job. If there are five of you, ask for the 6-seat MPV, and for up to six passengers with plenty of luggage, the 7-seater MPV. If you would like something more special for an occasion, our luxury cars carry three passengers.

If you are not sure, choose no preference on the quote form and we will match the car to the journey. Telling us about luggage, a pushchair or shopping bags helps us send the right size first time.

Can I ask for a female driver?

Yes. Female drivers are available on request. Just mention it when you book, by phone, by email or in the quote form, and we will arrange it wherever possible. It can make a real difference for a late journey home, for an elderly relative travelling alone, or simply for feeling more comfortable in the car.

How is a private hire fare worked out?

Every fare is quoted before you travel and confirmed in writing. In general the price depends on the distance, the time of day, how long the driver needs to wait, and the size of car. A return journey with a wait, such as a hospital appointment, is quoted as one job so you know the full cost up front.

Local fares can be paid by cash or card. If you travel for work regularly, ask us about a corporate account.

Private hire: your questions.

Do I need to book a taxi in advance?

We work on pre-booked journeys, so the earlier you book, the easier it is to have the right car ready. Bookings are taken seven days a week and pre-booked trips can be at any hour, including early mornings and late nights. For same-day journeys, call us and we will tell you straight away what we can do.

Can I book a female driver?

Yes. Female drivers are available on request for any journey, local or long distance. Mention it when you book by phone, email or the quote form and we will arrange it wherever possible.

Is the price fixed?

Yes. Every journey is quoted before you travel and the booking is confirmed in writing with that fixed price. The quote takes into account the distance, the time, any waiting and the size of car you need.

Do you only do local journeys?

No. Most of our private hire work is around Solihull, Birmingham and the surrounding towns, but we travel nationwide. A long-distance trip is booked and priced the same way as a local one, with the fare agreed before you set off.

What if there are more than four of us?

Ask for an MPV. The 6-seat MPV takes up to five passengers, and the 7-seater MPV takes up to six passengers with up to six cases. Tell us how many people and how much luggage when you book.
