Taxi Service in Oadby – Aylestone Taxis

Oadby sits four miles south-east of Leicester along the A6, and it is one of the busiest areas we serve. It is a settled, well-off suburb with a mix of long-standing residents, University of Leicester staff and students around the Oadby student village, and families who commute into the city every weekday. Aylestone Taxis has covered Oadby since 1995, and the pattern of bookings here is steady rather than seasonal: school runs in the morning, appointments and shopping through the day, airport transfers at dawn, and rides home from the city centre late at night.

A taxi from Oadby to Leicester city centre takes around 15 to 20 minutes in normal traffic along the A6 London Road, and fares are typically £12 to £15 depending on your exact pickup point and the time of day. East Midlands Airport is the nearest major airport, roughly 30 to 35 minutes away via the A563 ring road and the M1, with fares usually in the £30 to £35 range. Every price is fixed and confirmed before you travel, so there is no meter ticking in traffic on London Road and no surge pricing when the city empties at closing time.

Leicester Racecourse on Oadby Road is the single biggest driver of event bookings in the area. Race days fill the car parks and the surrounding roads, and pre-booking a taxi both ways is far easier than hunting for a space. We also run constantly along Stoughton Road and the residential streets off it, to and from The Parade for shopping, and out to Oadby Grange and Brocks Hill. For rail connections, South Wigston station is a short hop from Oadby and a common booking for commuters heading to Birmingham or Nuneaton, while Leicester railway station is the usual choice for London and the north.

Night-time cover matters here. Oadby is far enough out that the last buses stop early, and a lot of our Oadby work is the journey home from a restaurant on Granby Street or a night out around the Clock Tower. We operate 24 hours a day, every day of the year, so a 1am pickup on a Saturday is treated exactly like a 9am one on a Tuesday: a licensed, DBS-checked driver and a price agreed in advance.

Regular bookings are straightforward to set up. Parents arrange the same school run each morning, often with the same driver where we can manage it, and older residents book recurring hospital and GP appointments to Leicester Royal Infirmary, Glenfield Hospital and Leicester General. Businesses along the A6 corridor use standing bookings for staff and clients. Tell us the days and times you need and we will hold the slot rather than making you book from scratch each week.

Our vehicles range from standard saloons for a single commuter to estates and MPVs for families, race-day groups and airport trips with luggage. Wheelchair accessible vehicles are available on request — just mention it when you book so the right vehicle is allocated.
