A classic red telephone box on the Village Street in Shipton Bellinger – a symbol of our village’s quaint charm. Living in a small community doesn’t mean you’re isolated. A1 Stephens Taxi bridges the gap between Shipton Bellinger and the world outside, ensuring you’re always connected by a reliable ride.
Shipton Bellinger is a wonderful place to live, with its tight-knit community and rural charm. But I know that our nearest big town (Tidworth or Amesbury) is a few miles away, and sometimes you need to reach further places like Salisbury or Andover. That’s where A1 Stephens Taxi steps in to fill the gap. Think of me as your link to the wider world whenever you need to travel.If you don’t drive or prefer not to, you might rely on friends or limited bus services – but having a reliable taxi contact can truly be a game-changer. I’ve had customers tell me that after they started using my service, they feel so much freer to plan outings or appointments, because they know transport is just a phone call away. That’s exactly my goal: to make sure transportation is never a barrier for anyone in Shipton Bellinger.
Planning a day trip?Perhaps you want to visit Stonehenge (which is only about 15 minutes from us!) or go shopping in Salisbury’s lovely city center. I offer private taxi hires for such occasions too. I can wait for you or come back at a designated time – whatever suits your itinerary. I recently took a family from Shipton Bellinger to Stonehenge, waited while they explored that ancient wonder, then drove them to Salisbury for lunch and a cathedral tour, and finally brought them home. They made wonderful memories, and I was happy to be the facilitator of their adventure.
As part of the community, I also understand local needs and events. Is there a big event at the Shipton Bellinger Village Centre? Perhaps a wedding at the village church or a special fête on the recreation ground? During community events, I try to be extra available, knowing some folks will need a lift, especially if parking gets tight or if they prefer not to walk home in the dark.I’ve even done trips like taking a group of friends from Shipton Bellinger to the Hawk Conservancy Trust (a fantastic nearby attraction) and back, so they could enjoy a day out without worrying about who’s driving. I genuinely enjoy helping my neighbors get the most out of living here.
Shipton Bellinger might be small, but our spirit is bigand it deserves a taxi service that matches that spirit. That’s why I treat every fare – no matter how short or long – with equal importance. If your grandmother needs a ride to the hairdresser in Tidworth every Friday, I want to be the one she trusts. If you’re a teenager needing a safe way to get back from a friend’s house in the evening, I’ll be there (and I’ll speak to your parents if they want, to reassure them – I know how it is in a small town, everyone looks out for each other!).
Reaching me is simple. Call or text +44 7788 727616 whenever you need a ride. You can also find A1 Stephens Taxi on WhatsApp at the same number if that’s easier for you to send your location or details. Let me know you’re in Shipton Bellinger (though it might pop up on my phone if you share your location digitally) and where you want to go, and I’ll confirm how quickly I can be there.For immediate needs, a call is best to get the fastest response. For planning ahead (like booking tomorrow’s airport run or scheduling a pickup for Saturday night), a text works fine too – I’ll reply promptly and set it in my schedule.Remember to save my number under “Taxi – Stephen” or “A1 Stephens Taxi” in your phone. That way, if you ever find yourself needing a ride, you don’t have to search around – you’ll have a direct line to a dependable driver. No ride is too small or too big. If it’s important to you, it’s important to me. I consider it a privilege to be the go-to taxi for many in our village, and I hope to be yours as well! Thank you for reading, and I look forward to getting you wherever you need to go, safely and comfortably.
Yes, I certainly do! I understand why you’d ask – some taxi companies focus only on bigger towns. But A1 Stephens Taxi is all about the local villages like Shipton Bellinger. I’m frequently in or near the village, and I’m more than happy to pick up and drop off here. You won’t ever hear “Sorry, we don’t go there” from me. Serving small communities is actually what I enjoy, because I get to know my customers and build trust.
Absolutely. I do trips to Salisbury, Andover, and other nearby towns all the time. Salisbury is about a 20-25 minute drive, and Andover is even closer (roughly 15 minutes), so they’re well within my service range. Whether it’s for work, shopping, or leisure, just let me know when you need to go. If it’s a round trip (for example, going to Andover train station in the morning and coming back in the evening), we can arrange that too. Many Shipton Bellinger residents use my service to connect with the trains from Grateley or Andover or to reach medical appointments in those towns.
The best way is to call me directly at +44 7788 727616That way, I can confirm right away and give you an estimated pickup time. If I’m driving and can’t answer immediately, leave a voicemail or send a text – I will get back to you very shortly. You can also text or WhatsApp if that’s more convenient, especially for advance bookings (like “Hi, need a pickup from Shipton Bellinger to Heathrow next Tuesday at 5 AM”). I’m pretty responsive!
Yes, I can be. I operate extended hours, essentially 24/7 by appointment. If you know you’ll need a late ride (say coming back from a dinner in town or your train gets in late), it’s best to book ahead so I can make sure to be awake and available. But I also understand sometimes plans change or emergencies happen – if you find yourself in need of a taxi at, say, midnight unexpectedly, give me a call. If I’m up and running, I will come. If I’ve turned in for the night, I’ll always answer if I hear the phone – and if by chance I miss it, I’ll call back as soon as I see it. Your safety getting home is important to me.
I know this is important. Currently, I do accept cash (which many regulars in villages prefer), and I also have the capability to take card payments via a mobile card reader or a secure payment link if needed. The mobile signal in Shipton Bellinger can be spotty in some spots, but generally we can get a card payment to go through either before we set off or once we reach a better signal area. If you need to pay by card or even a service like PayPal, just let me know – I’ll do my best to accommodate. My goal is to make the whole process easy for you, including payment.
