“Could not recommend Guy enough! We used Pocklington Private Hire for my hen party this weekend. Guy took us to York and back from KP Lodges — the most genuine, friendly, lovely person and would 110% recommend! Thank you so much Guy for making my hen do that extra special. What a great laugh!”
“Brilliant service — from ease of booking, promptness of the taxi and the most lovely friendly driver. Highly recommend.”

“Guy is an absolute legend, can't recommend him enough. Made the whole process seamless — even sent a video of mum successfully picked up from the airport, then sorted the dodgy lock to get her in safely!”
“Absolutely brilliant service for an airport run. Guy was friendly, super patient when it came to organising timing, arrived spot on time for airport pickup to transfer us home and just generally went above and beyond to take care of us. Would recommend to anyone, thanks Guy!”

“I used this taxi company today on three different journeys. Visiting the area from the Shetland Isles and don't know my way around — courteous, flexible, helpful and thoroughly nice folk with lovely clean cars. Thank you Guy and Claire. Highly recommend for a woman travelling around on her own.”

About the firm
A proper local taxi firm in Pocklington
Pocklington Private Hire is a small, independent private hire firm based in Pocklington on the western edge of the Yorkshire Wolds. Run day-to-day by Guy, we handle everything a rural East Yorkshire community needs from a local taxi — school and college runs, GP and hospital trips, station drops at Howden and Brough, evening jobs into York, Beverley and Hull, and long-distance airport transfers to Manchester, Leeds Bradford, Humberside, Newcastle and all four London airports.
The fleet is built around a modern black 8-seater Ford Tourneo Custom — properly licensed by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, DBS-checked driver, leather interior, proper luggage room. It's the same vehicle you'll see on Facebook for hen parties, weddings and airport groups.
Where we cover
Our doorstep pickups cover Pocklington and every village around it — Barmby Moor, Melbourne, Allerthorpe, Wilberfoss, Stamford Bridge, Market Weighton, Bishop Wilton, Sutton-upon-Derwent, Shiptonthorpe, Everingham, Thornton, Hayton, Nunburnholme, Millington, Warter, Kilnwick Percy, Yapham, Bielby and Seaton Ross. Long-distance work runs to York, Hull, Beverley, Driffield, Malton, Selby, Goole, Bridlington, Scarborough, Leeds, Sheffield, Doncaster and Newcastle as everyday jobs.
We cover every UK airport — Manchester, Leeds Bradford, Humberside, Doncaster Sheffield, Newcastle, Birmingham, East Midlands, Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton — plus main-line stations at York, Hull, Doncaster, Howden, Brough and Malton. For rail replacement and station transfers, we're a straightforward pre-book with a fixed price.
Why book a local taxi in Pocklington rather than an app
App-based taxis in rural East Yorkshire are unreliable. Rides get cancelled at the last minute, prices surge at exactly the moment you need to leave, and after 10pm on a Sunday the map is empty. Pre-booking a local Pocklington taxi firm means the vehicle is guaranteed — priced up front, driven by the same person you'll book next time, and answered on Business WhatsApp round the clock.
For airport transfers, weddings, hen and stag parties and race days at York or Beverley, that guarantee matters more than saving a fiver. And because Guy is local, he knows the A1079, the A166, the A64 pinch points and the back roads out of the Wolds — so you get there on time whatever the weather.
