People across the Midlands and beyond have been taking advantage of lockdown easing to venture out further afield and enjoy a change of scenery. With amusement parks, London-based attractions and National Trust sites amongst others now open, this could be a great chance to make the most of our remaining summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to the continuation of social distancing measures, many now feel safe out and about, however, for those without access to a vehicle, getting to their destination of choice can present a real issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The team at Excelsior Cars can help.\u00a0 We provide a safe, trusted and cost effective mode of transport for mid-long distance journeys. It doesn\u2019t matter whether you are travelling by yourself, treating the kids to a day out or planning a group staycation, we can accommodate you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aren\u2019t Long Trips Expensive in a Taxi?<\/h3>\n

You may think that travelling longer distances in a taxi can work out expensive, but our reviews say otherwise<\/a>! We keep a 12 mile minimum journey on our fares to ensure that our prices remain competitive for mid-long distance journeys. Many of our customers book us for return journeys and remark upon our excellent service.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over recent weeks, our customers have been comparing the cost of our service with household name taxi operators, particularly on long distance journeys. By using the fare calculator on our site which generates your instant fixed price, many have found that Excelsior Cars provides the best value for money, even against the larger competitors!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
