Speed and convenience
Pre-book and your driver is waiting when the train pulls in. No queue, no wait at the rank after a long journey.
An Ashford International Station taxi is a pre-booked private hire car that collects you from the station forecourt and takes you to your final destination. Miah Taxis Ashford (MTA) runs station transfers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for commuters, families with luggage and visitors to Kent.
Each booking has 3 parts: your train arrival time, an agreed fare, and a driver waiting at the forecourt. Book by phone, WhatsApp, email or the online form, and give us the train time so the pickup lands with your arrival.
Where to find the taxi rank at Ashford International
The taxi rank at Ashford International Station sits in front of the station on Station Approach Road, directly outside the main booking hall. Pre-booked cars collect from the same forecourt, so you walk straight out to your driver rather than joining the queue.
Ashford International is a Category A station with step-free access to every platform via lifts, so passengers with luggage, prams or mobility needs reach the forecourt without stairs.
