The Shawlands taxi that quotes before you book
Shawlands has more restaurants per street than anywhere on the Southside, which means a lot of late-evening taxis home and a lot of people trying to guess what the fare will be. With us there's no guessing. Whether it's Kilmarnock Road to the West End, Pollokshields to Central Station or an early airport pickup from Strathbungo, you see the fixed price first.
Our base in Govan is ten minutes away, so cars reach Shawlands fast and the airport route is straightforward: down to the M77 then the M8, around 20 minutes outside rush hour.
