Amazing service

Amazing service, booked 2 months in advance, didn’t have any contact inbetween and he was there exactly when he said he would be, when he turned up we had a few more people needing to get home he said no problem I will come back(baring in mind it was within a mile away, wouldn’t expect it if it was miles away) best taxi service in abergavenny, if I could give 6 stars I would ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was the day of the flood

It was the day of the flood, we were stranded with no buses or trains. Our kind driver took us to Newport from Abergavenny on the only open road available due to many road closures. Many thanks.

Exceptional Service

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Subrata's outstanding service during our wedding weekend. From our first conversation, Subrata demonstrated professionalism, flexibility, and a genuine desire to ensure everything went smoothly for us and our guests.

He handled every aspect of our transportation needs with remarkable efficiency, accommodating last-minute changes and challenges without hesitation. Even when faced with unexpected issues, such as late arrivals and overcharges by another service, Subrata went above and beyond to rectify the situation and ensure our guests were taken care of.

What truly sets Subrata apart is his calm demeanour and willingness to go the extra mile. Whether it was shuttling guests late into the night or rearranging his schedule to meet our needs, he consistently delivered excellent service.

If you're looking for a trustworthy and accommodating taxi service, I wholeheartedly recommend Subrata and Shire Taxi for any event. Thank you, Subrata, for your invaluable support on such an important day.

Dear Mr. Gillingham,

Thank you for the 5-star rating and your thoughtful words. It was truly a privilege to meet a true gentleman like yourself and be part of your family’s special day. I was honoured to have the opportunity to take the bride and groom to their stay in Gilwern.

Kind regards,

Excellent communication

Communication was great from the time of enquiry through to booking and pick up. Our taxi was on time and didn’t make a fuss of us being 10 minutes late (too busy on the wedding dance floor!)
Subrata is a really lovely man and was a joy to chat to on the way home.
We will definitely use him again when travelling home from Abergavenny.
