Woking Station Taxi: Pre-Booked Pickups and Drop-offs
A Woking station taxi from MiCabi is booked in advance: you give us your train, we agree a pickup point at or near the station, and the price is fixed before you travel. MiCabi is a private hire operator based in Woking, so every journey is pre-booked; we do not wait on a taxi rank or pick up passengers who flag the car down.
Booking ahead suits anyone who wants to know the car, the time and the fare before the day, whether that is a commuter coming home late, a family with cases or a visitor arriving for a meeting.
About Woking station
Woking is a major junction on the South Western Railway network. Trains run from here to London Waterloo, down the South West Main Line towards Basingstoke, Southampton and Bournemouth, on the Portsmouth line through Guildford, and on the lines to Salisbury and Alton. With that many routes, it is often the station people change at, or travel to from the villages around the town.
Taxi rank or pre-booked car?
In Woking, as across the country, there are two kinds of licensed car. Hackney carriages can work from taxi ranks or be flagged down in the street. Private hire vehicles must be pre-booked through a licensed operator, which is how MiCabi works. Woking Borough Council licenses both and explains the difference on its website.
Neither is right for everyone. If you step off a train with no plans, a hackney carriage may be the quickest way home. If you would rather know the car, the driver's arrival time and the fare before you set off, a pre-booked car takes the guesswork out, and it is easy to book the return journey at the same time.
Arriving at Woking by train
Book the car before you travel and tell us the train you expect to catch. We agree the pickup point with you when you book, and the driver is there at the time agreed. If your train is running late, call the office on 01483 830830; the phone is answered 24 hours a day.
From the station we take passengers home across Woking and the villages around it, such as Horsell, Knaphill, St John's, Byfleet and Pyrford, and anywhere else in Surrey. For journeys that do not start at the station, our Woking taxi page covers local trips around the town.
Getting to the station for a train
It works the same way in reverse. Book a pickup from your home or office, give us the train time, and allow a margin for traffic in the town centre at rush hour. The car is allocated in advance, so the car you booked is the one that arrives.
Early starts and late trains home
Because the office is answered 24 hours a day, a car for a 6am train to London or for the last train back from Waterloo is booked in exactly the same way as a midday trip. Give us the train you plan to catch, and if it is delayed or cancelled, call the office and tell us the new time.
Woking station to the airports
Many station pickups are really the start of a flight. From Woking, Heathrow is about 18 miles, typically 25–40 minutes, and Gatwick is about 37 miles, typically 50–65 minutes. Each route page has the road, the terminals and how the pickup works on the way home.
Groups and luggage
For a group, the 8 seater taxi carries up to 8 passengers. Tell us how many bags you are bringing when you book and we will confirm the right vehicle. Golf bags, pushchairs and bikes in bags are worth mentioning too, so the car is sized properly before it arrives.
Choosing a taxi firm in Woking
Whoever you book, a few questions are worth asking. Is the operator licensed for private hire? Is the price agreed before the journey, or read off a meter? Can you reach someone at 5am if a train is cancelled? MiCabi's office is on Goldsworth Road in Woking, the fare is fixed when you book, and the phone is answered 24 hours a day.
