Llanelli may not be a major city, but it’s certainly vibrant, and knows how to keep the momentum going with rugby nights at Parc y Scarlets, a leisurely stroll along the beach at Llanelli Coastal Park or simply out to the shops. And when you need to make the round about (or dodge the drizzle), a solid taxi service is a must.
I’ve used cabs in Llanelli, more times than I care to count — some journeys have hit the nail on the head, while others… well, let’s just say there’s been plenty of times when I’ve felt my patience being tested. Based on some late-night rides and other experiences, here’s my hard to do without guide to taxi services in Llanelli.

1. Station Cabs – The Just the Right, Trusty Choice
These guys have been in business forever, and for a very good reason — they get you there, they’re safe, they don’t fuck you about. Based near the train station, they’re ideal for town centre pick-ups or station runs.
Best for:
- Llanelli train station
- Everyday errands
- Dependable local trips
2. Delta Taxis Llanelli – Friendly & Quick
Delta’s one of these services that just quietly gets the job done and gets it done good. The drivers (which are usually locals who know the roads) can usually be counted on for a smooth no-drama ride.
Best for:
- School runs
- Town centre to suburbs
- Daily transport needs
3. You have some serious drinking to do, my friend.
It’s not the biggest name in town, but Union has come to my rescue when everybody else was booked. They’re reliable when you need a backup late at night or during busy events.
Best for:
- Weekend nights
- Last-minute bookings
- Event pick-ups
4. Uber – Don’t Hold Your Breath
Uber technically operates in Llanelli, but don’t plan on being able to rely on it when you needed something. If you do get a car, it’s fast and easy — but the variability makes it tough to depend on.
Best for:
- App fans
- Rare moments of availability
- Fast quotes
5. A2B Travel – Best for Airports and Long Travels
Headed to Cardiff Airport or needing a lift to Swansea or Carmarthen? A2B Travel is a top choice. Clean vehicles, professional drivers, and a more premium feel make them a worth-call for longer hauls.
Best for:
- Airport transfers
- Business travel
- Day trips
So, What is the Best Llanelli Taxi Service?
- Daily Trips: Station Cabs or Delta Taxis
- On nights of high demand: Union Cabs
- Convenience with app: Uber (hopefully)
- A2B Traveltyle: Long-distance comfort
Llanelli may be small, but the taxi trade is robust if you’ve got a reliable number. Be it getting across town, getting a train or simply avoiding the rain after a night out — these options have your back.
