Coleraine may have its riverside graft and be a short hop from the Causeway Coast, but getting from A to B — especially after the buses stop — you’ll need a taxi service you can rely on.
And after many trips to Portrush, picking people up from the train station, and late-night food runs, here’s my no-nonsense guide to taxi services in and around Coleraine.

1. Coleraine Taxis – Local Go-To
If there was one name which I would have to trust, it would be this one. Available most hours of the day, and they have the coverage whether you’re staying in the city or heading to the coast. The app is helpful if you don’t feel like ringing.
Best for:
- Train station pickups
- Coastal day trips (Portrush, Portstewart, etc.)
- Everyday reliable rides
2. Autocab Footer – Fast and Reliable
Autocab Footer focuses on speed and service. If you’re trapped somewhere in the rain, they’re typically among the first to show. Clean cars, no nonsense prices — no bells and whistles, just good stuff.
Best for:
- Late-night returns
- Quick town trips
- Dependable service
3. Loughview Taxis – Your Friendly and Cost-Effective Transportation Solution
A smaller outfit but super helpful drivers. If you’re local, or if you just want a quieter, more personal ride. Rates are typically quite inexpensive and they will go above and beyond if you’re in a bind.
Best for:
- Short trips
- Local runs
- Friendly service
4. Uber – Useful at Times, Not at Times
Uber is technically available in Coleraine, but don’t expect to get a ride during peak times or late at night. Returning to the convenience and app-awareness: That said, if you’re lucky, it’s one-stop and app-friendy.
Best for:
- Daytime rides
- Cashless and app users
- When local firms are busy
5. Terry’s Taxis – Luxury Travel
Flying out from Belfast? Business meeting in Derry? Terry’s Taxis: for those times you want to travel in the lap of luxury, for less—this service provides cars and professional drivers for when you want something a little smoother than a typical cab. Not cheap, but worth it.
Best for:
- Airport transfers
- Special occasions
- Business or VIP travel
