1. Busy Bee Taxis – Rhyl’s Go-To
Answering the phone quick, showing up quick and never a disappointment. Whether you’re doing a weekly Asda shop or need collecting from the train station, they’re often local and free to go.
Best for:
- Day-to-day trips
- Supermarket runs
- Quick pickups around town
2. Coastline Taxis Rhyl – Strong, Smooth, Reliable
Always courteous to everyone — especially guests. If you are new in town or just going to an area close to home like Prestatyn or Towyn, they have a decent coverage area and experienced drivers that will have a good sense of direction without Satnav.
Best for:
- Tourist travel
- Family rides
- Day trips to nearby towns
3. Star Taxis – Night Shift Experts
They don’t always hit the top of the charts, but when you need a lift home at 2am after a gig or pub crawl, they’re usually there when you call. They are also a strong plan B for quick turnaround and late-night availability.
Best for:
- Late-night pickups
- Friday/Saturday pub runs
- Backup rides
4. Uber Not So Much More Like Uber Here
Uber does officially operate in Rhyl… but don’t expect it to be like it is in the cities. And sometimes you will get lucky with finding a driver in a few minutes, but at others you’ll be left in the lurch. Definitely worthwhile to have the app; just don’t depend on it.
Best for:
- App tracking and payments
- Solo daytime rides
- When local companies are all booked
5.Personnel de El North Wales Executive — Suave, con Estilo, Organizado
Want to arrive at Manchester Airport in style? Business trip to Chester? That would be these guys, who do longer hops and provide nice cars, proper drivers and no faff. It’s not cheap, but it’s surely professional.
Best for:
- Airport transfers
- Executive travel
- Special occasions
