Passenger Guides & Tips

1
When fares are lower and how to avoid surge pricing
Almost everyone who uses taxis in the UK is familiar with the question of why the price of a journey in the app is sometimes higher than expected.
2
Where it’s better to hail a Black Cab and where an app is more cost-effective
In Britain, especially in its capital, there are two popular ways to use a taxi: hail a legendary Black Cab on the street or use an app such as Uber or Bolt.
3
Time-saving and toll-avoiding tips
Cars have long been considered the most convenient form of transport for travelling around Europe and the UK, among other places.
4
Is a child booster seat required, and how to request one?
Transporting children in a taxi is a popular choice for parents in the UK. This solution can be convenient for daily trips to school, transfers to the airport, or even for solving emergency unforeseen situations.
5
Can the fare be fixed in advance?
Taxi customers in the UK often want to know the cost of a ride in advance. Unlike situations where the price is formed by the meter during the ride, having a fixed rate allows you to avoid unpleasant surprises, especially when ordering during rush hour or going to the airport.
6
How to recover lost property?
Forgetting something in a taxi is a common occurrence. The phone slipped into the seat gap, the bag was left in the trunk, and sometimes the shopping bag was left on the floor.

Holyhead is perhaps most famous for the ferry to Dublin, and for sweeping views of the Irish Sea, but after a choppy crossing or if you need a lift to station ahead of the last train, a reliable taxi number is invaluable.

So whether you’re a local heading into town a tourist just arriving off the boat or need a lift around Anglesey, here’s my hands-on guide to taxi services from Holyhead. Using actual rides, port pickups and the occasional “are you nearly here? phone call.
