Isle of Wight taxis — by people who actually live here

CAB Co. has been moving people around the Isle of Wight for years — from the ferry terminals at Fishbourne and East Cowes to the hotels in Sandown, the hospitals in Newport, and everywhere in between. We're not a franchise, not an app that parachutes drivers in for the summer. We live here.

We know when the Ryde Hovercraft is running late, which roads flood after heavy rain near Yarmouth, and the quickest way out of Cowes during Regatta week. That kind of knowledge only comes from years on the island — not from a sat-nav.

Every driver carries an Isle of Wight Council private hire licence. That means criminal record checks, vehicle inspections, and local knowledge tests — not just a form filled in online. When you get in one of our cars, you know who you're with.

We specialise in the journeys that matter most: meeting you off the ferry before you've had a chance to get stressed, getting you to Southampton Airport in time for a 6am departure, and showing visitors parts of the island they'd never find on their own.

We cover Newport, Cowes, East Cowes, Ryde, Shanklin, Ventnor, Sandown, Bembridge, Freshwater, and Yarmouth — all year round, not just in season. The fleet is small and kept that way deliberately. Fewer vehicles means we know exactly who's driving, what condition the cars are in, and whether the service is actually good. We'd rather do this right than do it at scale.
