Southside Glasgow taxis
We're the Southside's own taxi company: based in Govan, working Shawlands, Queen's Park, Govanhill, Cathcart, Pollok and everywhere between, all day and all night. Glasgow Airport is a fixed £40.04 from Queen's Park.
Or call us any time, day or night: 0141 374 0800
A taxi number for the whole Southside
Ask around Shawlands or Battlefield for a taxi number and you'll get a handful of local firms and a couple of apps. What you rarely get is a price. Dream Taxis quotes every journey before you book, from a two-minute hop along Victoria Road to a 5am airport run, so nobody on the Southside gets a surprise at the end of the ride.
We've been driving these streets for years. Our drivers know that Pollokshaws Road is quicker than Kilmarnock Road at school-run time, that Hampden empties onto Aikenhead Road, and which side of Queen's Park a bar actually sits on. That local knowledge is why our airport times hold up.

Why the Southside calls Dream Taxis
Two things, mostly. The price is fixed before you get in, and the car turns up when we say it will. Our office is on Whitefield Road in Govan, ten minutes from Shawlands, so we're not dispatching from across the city.
For the airport we track your flight, wait an hour free at arrivals, and the driver can meet you in the hall with a name board if you'd like. For local runs you can book on the site, in the app, or just phone.
the Southside taxi questions
What's the taxi number for the Southside of Glasgow?

Do you do pickups from Hampden on match days?
Yes. Book ahead and set your pickup a street or two away from the stadium (Aikenhead Road or Cathcart Road side) because the immediate roads close after the final whistle. Six-seaters are popular for groups heading back into town.
Can I pre-book an early-morning taxi in the Southside?
Any time you like. Pre-booked early runs are our bread and butter: the job is assigned to a driver the night before and you get a text with the car details when it's on its way.
Is Dream Taxis a black cab or private hire?
Private hire, licensed by Glasgow City Council. That's why we can give you a fixed price up front instead of a meter.
