Do you have taxis at Billingshurst station?
Billingshurst train station is practically on our doorstep! So when you pre-book Jakes Cars to collect you, we’ll be ready and waiting.
As Billingshurst locals like us know, the small station car park (84 spaces) fills up remarkably quickly, and there is no taxi rank. So when the London trains come in, there won’t be any taxis parked up and available. That’s why pre-booking with Jake’s Cars is such a great idea. We can wait just around the corner and just drive up and pick you up, rain or shine, day or night.
Billingshurst station is on the Arun Valley line with Southern rail direct services from Bognor Regis to London Victoria via Horsham, Crawley, and Gatwick Airport. With regular trains into town, it’s always busy weekday mornings and evenings, and later too as people return from a night out at the theatre, for example.
Local train commuters often pre-book their Jakes Cars taxi, avoiding a potential long wait in unpredictable weather. If you realise it’s raining and don’t want to walk, just book via the app during your journey and we’ll make sure a taxi is ready for pick-up the moment your train reaches the station. With the app’s real-time tracking feature, you can monitor your driver’s exact location as you arrive, ensuring a seamless transition from the platform to taxi.
I’m catching a faster train from Horsham. Can I book a taxi to Horsham station?
Of course you can! With fast trains from Horsham whisking you into London Victoria in under 55 minutes, and a more frequent service too (including earlier and later trains), it can be quicker to catch the train from Horsham if you live north of Billingshurst.
Does it cost extra to book using the Jake’s Cars booking app?
Not at all. Once the app is on your phone, all you need to do is tap in your details to book anytime. The app stores all your past and future journeys, making it ideal if you want to track or reclaim your travel expenses.
What happens if my train is delayed or cancelled?
Those of us who use the rail network here in the south-east know that delays can and do happen. Problems on the Arun Valley line could leave you stranded at Horsham, Crawley or Gatwick Airport, or any of the stops along the line including Three Bridges, Christs Hospital, Pulborough, Amberley, Arundel, Ford and Barnham. If you need to get home from any of these stations, you can get a quote and check real time availability via the app, or just call us.
Can you take me to and from Gatwick Airport?
Yes we can. For full details, see our Airport Taxi Transfers page.
