What we do
A car in eight minutes for £6 across town, the airport at four in the morning for a fixed figure, a child taken to school by the same driver every day, a chair user charged the same as everyone else, forty businesses on one invoice a month, and a minibus for the match. Each has its own page with what it costs and how it works.
01
Anywhere in Pontypridd town to anywhere else in it for a flat £6 in the day; Treforest, Rhydyfelin, Church Village, Cilfynydd, Porth and the rest of the borough priced by zone on the fares page; the station, the hospital, the shops and home from the pub, with a car in about eight minutes most of the day.
A flat £6 anywhere within Pontypridd town in the day, £4.
02
Fixed fares from every zone of the borough to Cardiff Airport, Bristol Airport and Heathrow, with the flight number on the booking so the car is there when you land rather than when you said you would. Forty-five minutes free after landing, a name board at arrivals for £10 if you want one, child seats booked ahead at no charge, and eight-seaters for the big family.
From Pontypridd town: Cardiff Airport £48, Bristol Airport £110, Heathrow £240, up to four passengers with luggage; five to eight in an eight-seater 40% more.
03
Daily school runs for the council, for schools with pupils who need a car, and for families with two schools and one parent, with the same enhanced-DBS-checked driver every day and a substitute the school has already met. Contract runs for surgeries, day centres and the university on the same terms, from £9 a leg within the borough.
From £9 a leg within the borough for a daily school run, invoiced monthly; a shared run split between families from £5 a child a leg.
04
Two wheelchair-accessible vehicles with a rear ramp, four-point restraints and a seatbelt for the chair user, driven by drivers trained to load and secure a chair properly, at the same fixed fare as a saloon. Hospital, day centre, the shops, the match and the airport, booked an hour ahead in the day and the night before for the morning.
The same fixed fares as a saloon: £6 in town, Cardiff Airport £48, by zone to everywhere else.
05
An account for businesses, surgeries, care homes, schools, the university and the council: book by phone, app or email against the account, a reference and a cost centre on every journey, one itemised invoice on the first of the month with 5% off the fixed fares, and a named person at the office who knows your routes.
No account fee.
06
Four eight-seater minibuses for five to eight people: the family to Bristol with the cases, the rugby crowd to the Principality, the hen party to Cardiff and home again at two, the wedding party between the chapel and the venue. The saloon fare plus 40%, fixed, with a driver who has done the stadium traffic before.
The saloon fare for the zone plus 40%: Cardiff city centre £45 from Pontypridd town, Cardiff Airport £68, Bristol Airport £154, Heathrow £336, for up to eight people with luggage.
The fleet
Hybrids mostly, four doors, a boot for two large cases, up to four passengers. The town, the hospital, Cardiff, and the airports for a family of four with the bags in the back.
Minibuses with three rows, belts for everyone, air conditioning and a boot for six cases. The match, the stag, the big family to Bristol. The saloon fare plus 40%.
Lowered floor, rear ramp, four-point restraints and a belt for the chair user, driven by six trained drivers. The same fare as a saloon; booked an hour ahead.
Estates fitted with child seats and a passenger-assistant seat, on the same route every morning and afternoon of term, with the council's safeguarding kit in the glovebox.
Cars on the road twenty-four hours a day from the office on Gelliwastad Road, with the fare fixed before you get in. Ring 01443 496 0700 any hour, or book here for a set time, an airport run, an eight-seater or the ramp car and the office confirms within the hour in the day.
