Jake’s Cars – a brief history

In 1998, Jake and Caroline founded Jake’s Cars with one simple goal, to provide local people in Billingshurst with a reliable, affordable taxi company they could trust. From just one private hire car, Jake grew the business into a well-established taxi company with eight cars and a dedicated team of drivers.

Fast forward to 2025, and Jake realised he has a problem. Jake’s Cars was so popular and so busy that he couldn’t always provide a taxi to local people who wanted one. (That upset him a lot as he hates letting people down.) He needed more cars, more drivers, more availability – and quickly.

So, he decided to look for a partner who could provide more availability, and also shared his passion for keeping things local. He didn’t want a big company to come in, change the name, and sweep away the local connections he most valued. He just needed to expand the great business he already had.

There was only one natural choice: Your Local Car (YLC). Also a family run firm, YLC offered that winning combination of good old fashioned values with the latest technology to provide an excellent level of service. Importantly, the Jake’s Cars name, the telephone number, and the app would all stay the same for continuity and trust.

The YLC group works behind the scenes with individual taxi companies, sharing resources including backend dispatch technology, app servers, online booking, local drivers, and real people to answer calls.

As a result, all customers of Jake’s Cars (and everyone else!) can enjoy excellent taxi availability with reliable drivers in their own clean, comfortable cars.

It’s a win-win for everyone, especially anyone looking for a reliable, pre-bookable taxi in Billingshurst!

What our customers say

Excellent way you conduct your business

Many thanks for the excellent way you conduct your business. I booked a taxi for New Year’s Eve after 10 o’clock as requested and had expected that once I paid you that you would close but to my amazement a lady took the time and effort to make sure that our taxi arrived even though it wasn’t booked until 02.30am. Superb service, great office staff and a very professional driver. Will always use and recommend Jake’s Cars.

Very professional and friendly

Just want to send a thank you for the considerate transporting of my elderly father to the doctors this morning.

Would definitely use Jake’s Cars again!

For both of our journeys the driver was waiting for us at the station. Communication was excellent and the prepayment link was great to know the cost of the fare in advance. Would definitely use Jake’s Cars again!

An amazing service

I would just like to thank you all for an amazing service. We were staying at the Travelodge in Billingshurst and met 3 of your drivers during our stay, including drop off and collection to one of the local pubs, to the train station on Friday morning and then collection from a wedding venue in Petworth. Communication and customer service from all the drivers was 5 star and I would highly recommend your service.

All very polite and professional

Absolutely brilliant. I was very nervous about getting a taxi down to St Richards hospital in Chichester for a day op. Jake’s were marvellous arranged it all, easy to deal with and it was fantastic to have on my phone their car tracker for when I was being picked up. Both drivers were excellent, and the driver back was very careful to go slowly as I was in pain. All very polite and professional. Faultless. Thank you again.

Nothing but praise for their polite, courteous drivers

I have been using Jake’s Cars for the last 4 months continuously. I have nothing but praise for their polite, courteous drivers, who arrive on time in all weathers. The cars are clean and well-kept and even when I have been delayed at the office in London there has not been a time when they have let me down. I highly recommend Jake’s Cars taxi service and I will continue to use their services.

AP

Great experience

I used this firm to collect myself and friend from Gatwick. The communication was excellent as I received a message whilst in the passport control queue telling me the name of my driver and where they would meet me. My driver was both friendly and polite and took our cases and showed us to the car. Due to bad traffic the driver took us the quickest way avoiding long queues. I would happily use them again.

AW

Impressed by Jake’s Cars

Our family have been impressed by Jake’s Cars. Very reliable

LW

Always willing to go above and beyond

All Jake’s drivers are polite, happy, jolly fellows. Always willing to go above and beyond to help with shopping, etc.

JS

Great service, thank you

We had a car booked on Christmas Day, they arrived promptly and didn’t mind taking the dog and some cheerily inebriated passengers. Great service, thank you.

AME

We had such a lovely driver

We had such a lovely driver, West Chiltington to Billingshurst. I have a hip problem and hubby a bit frail, plus my dog, so, so helpful. Thank you so much to our driver!
