When people search “Thurrock taxi”, “taxi Grays”, “airport taxi Thurrock” or “taxi near me Grays RM17”, they’re looking for a company that simply turns up on time, every time – with no surprises on price and drivers they can trust with their family or their business clients.
In late 2025 that still isn’t guaranteed with every option out there, but it is exactly what Thurrock Taxi Cab has delivered day-in, day-out for over ten years. We remain the highest-rated independent taxi company across the whole borough on Google and Trustpilot, and we’re still the first name locals and businesses mention when they need a cab they can truly rely on.
Here’s why we continue to be Thurrock’s favourite taxi service in 2025–2026.
Why Locals and Businesses Keep Choosing Thurrock Taxi Cab
Fixed Prices Quoted and Confirmed Before You Travel

- Grays → Stansted: £65–£75
- Purfleet → Heathrow: £95–£110
- Tilbury → London City: £60–£70

Why Thurrock Still Chooses a Proper Local Taxi Company
In 2025 there are more apps and options than ever, but nothing beats drivers who know every shortcut from the Dartford Crossing to the A13, who arrive early instead of late, and who treat every passenger with the same respect – whether it’s a child heading to school or a director heading to the airport.
For airport transfers that actually wait when flights are late, school runs that parents never worry about, and business accounts that save time and money, Thurrock Taxi Cab is still the name the borough trusts most.
