What we do

One number for every journey.

From a two-mile hop across town to a 4am airport run. Same firm, same fair price.

Airport transfers

Fixed prices to Leeds Bradford, Manchester and beyond. We track your flight, meet you in arrivals, and never charge for a late landing.

Station runs

To and from York station, timed to your train. We watch the departure boards, so a delayed 21:04 from King's Cross doesn't leave you stranded.

Local journeys

The big shop, the doctor's, home from town. No job too short. Local runs are the bread and butter of what we do.

Executive cars

Unmarked, immaculate saloons with suited drivers, for clients, meetings, weddings and days at York Races.

Nights out

Pre-book your ride home before you head out and skip the rank queue. We run all night, every night, with no surge pricing at closing time.

Business accounts

Monthly invoicing for firms, schools and care providers. Regular contract runs with the same trusted drivers each time.

The fleet

The right car for the job.

Every vehicle is council-inspected, valeted daily and carries a card reader. Just tell us how many of you there are.

Saloon

The everyday workhorse. Toyota Prius and Corolla hybrids: quiet, comfortable and easy on the planet.

4 seats2 casesStandard fare

Estate

Same fare as a saloon, twice the boot. Ideal for airport luggage, golf clubs, prams and the big shop.

4 seats4 casesStandard fare

8-seater

For group airport runs, race days and family dos. Works out cheaper than two saloons, every time.

Word around York

Trusted by the people we drive.

★★★★★
“Booked a 4am run to Manchester for a holiday flight. The driver was outside at 3:55, boot open, and the price was exactly what they'd quoted. That's why I keep going back.”

★★★★★
“My train got in forty minutes late and I was dreading an empty rank. Kestrel had watched the delay, and the driver texted me as we pulled into the platform. Brilliant.”

★★★★★
“We put all our client pickups through Kestrel's business account. Same friendly drivers, spotless execs, one tidy invoice at the end of the month. Easy.”
