Maida Vale Minicabs & Private Hire
Maida Vale is our home. Pronto Cars has run private hire from the heart of W9 since 1981, and few local minicab firms know these streets better — from Sutherland Avenue and Elgin Avenue to Warwick Avenue and the waterways of Little Venice. Whether it is a school run, a hospital appointment, a night out or an early airport start, a TfL-licensed driver is a phone call away, day or night.
Being based in Maida Vale means fast pickups across the W9 postcode — the residential roads north of the canal, the Elgin Estate, and the parades along Formosa Street and Clifton Road. We are minutes from Warwick Avenue and Maida Vale Underground stations, and a short hop from Paddington for mainline and Elizabeth line connections.
Airport runs are a core part of what we do from Maida Vale. Heathrow is our most popular fixed-fare route, and we also cover Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City, with flight tracking included so we adjust to your landing time. Across town, we regularly take passengers to the City, Canary Wharf, the West End and the major London hospitals.
