Saltaire station is compact. Most taxis collect on Victoria Road by the station exit. Stand clear of the crossing and avoid blocking the pavement on busy days. If it’s crowded, step 20–30m down Victoria Road and tell the operator; it helps drivers spot you.
Ask about card ahead of time and request a receipt for expenses.
We keep maps light for speed. When you add a Leaflet/Mapbox map, load pins from the listings below.
Illustrative only — confirm pickup points with your driver on the day.
There is no permanent rank; most pickups are pre-booked. Call on arrival and stand by the Victoria Road exit unless told otherwise.
Many do, but not all. Ask when booking or carry cash as a backup.
Typically 25–40 minutes by car depending on traffic and pickup point. Allow extra time during peaks or poor weather.
Standard saloon seats up to 4. Ask for an estate/MPV/minibus for larger groups or extra luggage.
Weekends and event nights can be busy. Pre-book and allow extra time.
Basic listing is free. Featured includes a badge, priority placement and better conversion. We recommend providing proof of insurance/licensing for a verification tick.
Taxis pair well with later trains or rainy days. Sort parking or use the train to simplify the day.
