Westminster taxis and private cabs
Call it a Westminster taxi, a Westminster cab, or a private car — Esskay Cars covers the whole borough with the same standard of vehicle and driver. We’re regularly booked around Victoria Station, St James’s Park, Parliament Square and the hotels of Belgravia and Pimlico. Book a local journey the same way you’d book an airport transfer: choose your vehicle, get your instant quote, and travel.
The Congestion Charge and ULEZ in Westminster
Unlike some outer boroughs, Westminster sits fully within the Congestion Charge zone as well as the ULEZ. Both are built into your Esskay Cars quote — the figure you see when you book is the figure you pay, with nothing added on the day regardless of when you travel.
Westminster airport taxi coverage
Westminster’s central location means every London airport and UK seaport is within reach, though central traffic makes timing your pickup properly more important than in outer London. Below is every route we run, each linking through to full journey details, vehicle options and instant pricing.

Why book a private transfer rather than a local cab firm?
A private, pre-booked transfer removes the two things that make airport and seaport journeys stressful: not knowing the price, and not knowing if the car will actually turn up on time. Every Esskay Cars booking from Westminster comes with an instant, fixed quote — Congestion Charge and ULEZ included — flight or sailing monitoring, and a named driver assigned to your journey.
Vehicles for every journey
Saloon cars suit most local trips and couples with standard luggage. For families, longer seaport transfers, or extra luggage, our estate and MPV options give proper room. Larger groups can book a 6 or 8-seater rather than splitting across multiple cars.
Licensed drivers you can rely on
Every Esskay Cars driver covering Westminster is licensed for Private Hire in London, DBS-checked, and fully insured for passenger transport. Vehicles are regularly inspected and maintained to the same standard whether you’re booking a quick local trip around SW1 or a long-distance airport run.
Taxi vs train vs Uber from Westminster
Westminster has excellent tube and rail links, but for an airport transfer that usually means a change, a fare per passenger rather than per vehicle, and a walk between stations with luggage. Ride-hailing apps solve the multi-leg problem but bring surge pricing exactly when demand peaks. A pre-booked, fixed-price transfer avoids both.
Payment and booking options
Bookings can be made online for an instant quote, over the phone, or via email for corporate accounts. We accept all major credit and debit cards, and corporate clients can arrange monthly invoicing rather than paying per trip.
Corporate accounts and regular bookings
Businesses and government offices based in Westminster that need regular airport transfers for staff or visiting clients can set up a corporate account with consolidated monthly billing and priority booking.
Weddings, events and special occasions
Beyond airport transfers, we’re also booked for wedding cars, corporate events and evening transport across Westminster — the same fleet and licensed drivers, just dressed for the occasion.
