Station Cars was formed by four owner/drivers who were becoming increasingly disillusioned with the taxi trade and the image it portrayed to the general public. They were all in search of a fresh alternative with better prospects and an improved customer service.

With this in mind Station Cars was born and opened for business on November 4th 1996. Over five years on, the business is still expanding.

The company commenced trading from its headquarters at the Stationgate shopping parade (opposite Laindon rail station) with a fleet of 15 vehicles. It now has a fleet of over 40 vehicles including saloon cars, estate cars, wheelchair accessible vehicles and minibuses, and over 60 drivers.

Since the early days the business has been technology orientated and uses a purpose built state of the art booking, despatch and accounting system to maintain high standards of customer service and efficiency.

In the year 2000, Station Cars was delighted to receive a business award in recognition of its excellent customer service after being “runners up” for the previous two years.

With sound policies in effect, the business has shown over 300% customer growth to date and currently deals with over 5,000 journeys per week.

As a business that is always looking for ways to improve our service and satisfy customer demands, we look forward to the future.
