Newcastle is where City Wheels is based. Our head office is on the Quayside, and the control desk covers Newcastle round the clock, so an early flight from Newcastle Airport or a late journey home is no harder to arrange than a mid-morning meeting.

Every journey is pre-booked and priced up front. Put your pickup and destination into the booking form and you see a fixed price before you commit: no meter running in traffic, no surge pricing when the city is busy, and no surprise at the end of the ride.

Questions

Taxi questions in Newcastle

Newcastle is one of our two round-the-clock areas, so the control desk is staffed day and night to arrange early-hours and overnight journeys. City Wheels is a pre-booked service rather than a street-hail taxi, so book in advance. For airport runs we recommend at least 12 hours' notice so the right vehicle and driver can be allocated.
