The Weybridge number is 01932 598 598. Clocktower Cars runs a licensed private hire office at Station Approach, Weybridge, KT13 8UD — on the station forecourt itself — covering the town, Oatlands, St George’s Hill and Brooklands 24 hours a day. Book online or get a fixed quote first.
Whether you want a taxi in Weybridge for the early train, minicabs in Weybridge for a group going to Heathrow, cabs in Weybridge after dinner on the High Street, or a wheelchair taxi in Weybridge for an appointment, it is the same office and the same fleet.
Weybridge sits in the Borough of Elmbridge on the KT13 postcode, where the River Wey meets the Thames — the crossing that gave the town its name more than thirteen centuries ago. Two things define taxi work here: the station, and how remarkably close Heathrow is.
Weybridge is the closest town we cover to Heathrow, and it is not a marginal call.
| From Weybridge | Distance | Typical drive |
|---|---|---|
| Heathrow | 13.1 miles | ~21 min |
| Gatwick | 32.2 miles | ~36 min |
Thirteen miles and roughly twenty-one minutes puts Heathrow closer to Weybridge than most of London is. In practice that changes how you plan a flight: the pickup can be later than people expect, and a delayed landing is a twenty-minute problem rather than an hour-long one. It also makes Weybridge one of the few places where a same-day return airport run is entirely reasonable.
There is no direct train from Weybridge to any Heathrow terminal, so by rail it means Waterloo and back out, or a bus connection. For an early flight, luggage or more than one passenger, the car wins comfortably. More on Heathrow transfers.
Gatwick is about 32 miles and 36 minutes, usually via the M25 anticlockwise. Comfortably done, but a noticeably longer run than Heathrow — so if you have a genuine choice of departure airport from Weybridge, Heathrow is the cheaper and quicker one to reach. See Gatwick transfers.
All covered, along with Southampton, Dover and Tilbury for cruise departures. These are the runs where a price agreed in advance matters most — see all airport transfers.
Our office is on Station Approach, which makes this the journey we do more than any other. Weybridge station sits south of the town centre — a proper walk from the High Street, Oatlands or St George’s Hill, which is exactly why the short run matters here.
It is also a busier junction than most people realise. Three platforms, three different patterns:
| Platform | Off-peak service |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2 trains per hour to London Waterloo via Staines and Hounslow |
| 2 | 4 trains per hour to London Waterloo via Surbiton — the fast route |
| 3 | 2 per hour to Woking, 2 per hour to Basingstoke |
Both platform 1 and platform 2 say “London Waterloo”, but one takes the slow loop round through Staines and the other runs fast through Surbiton. The Chertsey branch also diverges here towards Virginia Water. If you are catching a specific train, tell us the departure time rather than just the station and we will get you there for the right one.
The everyday version is most of our work: the commuter drop, the evening collection, and the run home when a late service terminates short. Weybridge station has stood on this spot since 1838 and the pattern of use has barely changed — people still need the last mile.
The High Street, Church Street, Monument Hill and the riverside where the Wey joins the Thames. St James’ Church has stood here since 1848. Parking in the centre is tight, which is half the reason the evening and weekend work exists.
North-east towards Walton, on the ground where Henry VIII built Oatlands Palace in the 1530s. Residential, a genuine walk from the station, and a steady source of standing bookings. Walton-on-Thames is next door.
The private estate south of the town, with its own roads, gates and tennis and golf clubs. Two practical points: an address alone is often not enough, so give us the gate you want the driver to use, and it is a long way from the station on foot in either direction. Executive vehicles are available where the occasion calls for one — see executive and corporate travel.
South towards Byfleet, and a genuinely remarkable piece of ground: the world’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit, opened in 1907, and later one of Britain’s most important aviation sites, building aircraft until 1988. Today it holds Brooklands Museum, Mercedes-Benz World and the community park — all of which generate event traffic, particularly on museum open days and track weekends. Book ahead for those; the roads in and out are not built for everyone leaving at once.
Beyond the town we also cover Esher, Thames Ditton, Kingston, Chessington and Bookham.
St Peter’s Hospital at Chertsey is the nearest major hospital to Weybridge, with Kingston Hospital and Ashford also within easy reach. Weybridge Community Hospital on Church Street handles outpatient and minor injury work closer to home.
A taxi to an appointment means being dropped at the right entrance rather than circling a hospital car park while the clock runs down. For collections after a procedure, ring when the patient is genuinely ready to leave rather than booking a time and hoping — discharges rarely happen when predicted.
Elmbridge has a dense mix of state and independent schools and a lot of pupils crossing the borough daily. A standing booking is set up once and then runs to the school calendar — same pickup, same times, term-time only, with a named regular driver wherever the rota allows. Most parents would rather see the same face at the gate than a different car each week.
Drivers carrying children are licensed and DBS-checked. Child seats and boosters are provided when requested at the time of booking — give us the child’s age and we bring the right one. Where a child travels alone, we agree in advance exactly who hands over and who receives at each end.
Some families qualify for council-funded home-to-school transport: broadly, a child under eight living more than two miles from school, a child of eight or over more than three miles away, a child with SEND or mobility needs, or one with no safe walking route. That is arranged through Surrey County Council rather than through us. More on travelling with children.
We run wheelchair-accessible vehicles, and they need requesting when you book rather than hoping on the day — there are fewer of them than saloons, so notice genuinely helps.
Beyond the vehicle, the detail is usually what matters: a driver who comes to the door rather than waiting at the kerb, helps with a folding chair or a frame, allows time rather than hovering, and knows which hospital entrance is the right one. On the gated estates, knowing which entrance to use saves more time than anything else. Tell us once and it stays on the booking. See accessible travel with Clocktower Cars.
We run pet-friendly journeys — the vet trip, the cattery drop, the move, the airport run with a dog in the back. Say what animal is travelling when you book, roughly what size, and whether it will be in a carrier or crate, and we will send a suitable driver and vehicle. Carriers make everything easier, and for a nervous animal the boot is usually kinder than the back seat.
Weybridge carries more corporate head-office work than a town its size would suggest, and the combination of the M25, the A3 and a twenty-minute run to Heathrow makes it a natural base for people who travel for a living. That is account territory rather than pay-as-you-go, and it is where executive vehicles and a regular driver earn their keep.
Accounts open through our account application, and there is more on executive and corporate travel. Ordinary bookings take card, cash or account.
Weybridge High Street empties later than the last useful train, and the walk home to Oatlands or up towards St George’s Hill is longer than it looks on a map. Our office runs 24 hours, so a car at one in the morning is ordinary work.
Book ahead if you know roughly when you are leaving — Friday and Saturday nights are the busiest hours of our week. And check the car when it arrives: you booked a private hire vehicle, so the driver should already know your name and destination. A car that pulls up unbooked and offers a lift is not us.
A hackney carriage may be hailed in the street or taken from a rank. A private hire vehicle may only be booked in advance through a licensed operator. We are the second kind.
Every journey is booked ahead, which is why you will not flag us down on the High Street — and also why you know which car is coming, roughly what it will cost, and that the booking exists on record before anyone sets off. Drivers are licensed and DBS-checked; vehicles are licensed and insured for private hire.

About 21 minutes over roughly 13 miles in normal traffic. Weybridge is the closest town we cover to Heathrow, which is why the pickup time can be later than people expect. Gatwick is further, at around 32 miles and 36 minutes.
Yes — it is our most frequent Weybridge journey, and our office is on Station Approach itself. The station is south of the town centre, a proper walk from the High Street, Oatlands and St George’s Hill. Tell us your train departure time rather than just the station, because platforms 1 and 2 both go to Waterloo by very different routes.
Platform 2, with four trains an hour to London Waterloo via Surbiton. Platform 1 also reaches Waterloo but takes the longer loop via Staines and Hounslow, twice an hour. Platform 3 serves Woking and Basingstoke, and the Chertsey branch to Virginia Water diverges at Weybridge.
Yes, regularly. It is a private estate with its own road network and gates, so please give us the gate you want the driver to use as well as the address — it saves the most time of anything you can tell us.
Yes, every day, including early-hours airport departures and late-night collections. Friday and Saturday nights are the busiest period, so book ahead where you can.
Yes. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles are available and should be requested at the time of booking, as there are fewer of them than standard cars. Tell us what assistance would help and it is recorded on the booking.
Yes, we run pet-friendly journeys. Mention the animal when you book, with its size and whether it travels in a carrier or crate, so we can send a suitable vehicle.
In everyday speech people use all three for the same thing, and we answer to all of them. In licensing terms a hackney carriage can be hailed in the street or taken from a rank, while a private hire vehicle — what most people mean by a minicab — must be booked in advance through a licensed operator. Clocktower Cars is a private hire operator, so whether you search for taxis in Weybridge, minicabs in Weybridge or cabs in Weybridge, the answer is the same: book ahead and the car is yours.
