Choosing a taxi in Keighley

We will not rank three firms

Taxi firms change their phone numbers and their cars. A “three best” list on an old page is how people ring a dead number. Use a firm you can see is licensed, and confirm the booking on the day.

Bradford Council licenses taxis and private hire in the district. If you want to check a plate or a complaint route, start at bradford.gov.uk rather than a directory. For Cross Hills, Glusburn and Sutton-in-Craven, the council is North Yorkshire.

When you will actually need one

• Between Keighley Town Centre and a house on a hill, when the car is full of boxes.
• To Steeton and Silsden station, or to Airedale Hospital, if you are not driving.
• Late in the evening, when village buses have stopped. Book rather than hope.

Ask for a price before you get in if the trip is a long hill or a wait. If you are moving home, the first-week notes are in moving to Keighley.
