When you need to get from Tidworth to Amesbury (or Amesbury to Tidworth), A1 Stephens Taxi is your best bet for a fast, hassle-free journey. Living or working around Tidworth, you probably know Amesbury – it’s the gateway to Stonehenge and home to many military families and local businesses. While it’s only about 8-9 miles away, finding reliable transportation can sometimes be tricky, especially if you’re traveling at odd hours or with luggage. Our service is here to solve that. We offer prompt pickups, friendly drivers, and comfortable cars, ensuring that the short hop between Tidworth and Amesbury is as smooth as can be. Forget about waiting for a bus or trying to coordinate a car share – with our taxis, you’re in control of your travel.
Just as we’re deeply involved in Tidworth’s community, we’ve become a familiar presence in Amesbury as well. We understand the lifestyle and needs here. Amesbury has a significant military community due to places like Bulford Camp and Larkhill Garrison nearby. We frequently help soldiers and their families shuttle between bases, home, and town. For instance, if you’re stationed at Tidworth but live in married quarters near Amesbury, we can ease your daily commute or be there for your family when they need a ride. Amesbury is also famously the closest town to Stonehenge, attracting visitors and having unique local events (like the Amesbury Carnival or the summer solstice gatherings in June). During those times, traffic patterns can change, or demand for transport spikes – rest assured, we prepare for that. We often station extra drivers around Amesbury on busy days to ensure wait times remain short. Our goal is to keep the local area moving efficiently, and we coordinate with awareness of big events (like when the A303 gets backed up due to Stonehenge tourist traffic, or road closures during a special event). It’s all part of being a responsible, community-focused taxi service.
Let’s talk about some everyday problems that we help solve:
Being a local taxi service, we thrive on being friendly and flexible. You’ll notice our drivers greet you warmly, are up for a pleasant chat if you are, or will respectfully let you rest if you’ve had a long day. We adapt to your mood and needs. Have a favourite route you prefer (maybe you like the scenic drive through the villages, or conversely the fastest main road)? Just tell us – we’re happy to oblige. Want to pick up a coffee at your favorite drive-thru on the way? Sure, we can make a quick stop. These little customizations are what make taking a taxi with us feel like your ride, your way. We also keep our vehicles in top shape. Even though the Tidworth-Amesbury journey is short, you deserve a clean and pleasant car. Expect tidy interiors, good ventilation or AC on hot days, and a smooth ride. And don’t be surprised if our driver remembers exactly where you like to be dropped off. For example, some Amesbury locals ask to stop near a particular corner to be closer to home – once you tell us, we remember for next time. Our business runs on trust and consistency. Over the years we’ve heard from many clients that knowing they can “just call Steve (or John, etc.) from A1 Stephens and he’ll sort it” brings a huge sense of relief. That’s what we aim for – to be the easiest part of your day, the one thing you don’t have to worry about.
While we love serving the short Tidworth ↔ Amesbury trips, don’t forget we can take you further if needed. Amesbury is a crossroads – perhaps you need to go a bit beyond, say Amesbury to Salisbury or to one of the military bases like Larkhill, Durrington, or Bulford. Those are all within our service area. In fact, many Amesbury residents call us for longer journeys too, such as airport runs (we take a lot of people from the Amesbury area to Heathrow or Gatwick) or day trips. So even though this page is about local service, keep in mind A1 Stephens is a one-stop solution for all your transportation needs. Start with a simple Tidworth to Amesbury ride today, and you might find you have a reliable transport partner for years to come, for everything from everyday errands to special occasions. In summary, whether it’s a quick hop for shopping, a commute, or part of a bigger travel plan, our Tidworth to Amesbury taxi is here to make your journey easy and enjoyable. We combine the speed and convenience you need with the warm, reliable service you deserve – it’s the best of both worlds, and that’s why locals say we’re the best taxi in Tidworth and the surrounding areas.
The fare for Tidworth ↔ Amesbury is very reasonable, given the short distance (approximately 8-9 miles). We typically charge a flat rate for this local trip. To get the exact quote, just call or message us – we’ll tell you the price immediately, and you’ll find it competitive. There are no hidden charges (for example, if we quote you £X, that already includes everything like booking fee, etc.). We accept both cash and card, so payment is easy. Many local customers find that for the convenience and time saved, the cost is well worth it, especially if you’re sharing the ride with someone.
Usually around 12 to 15 minutes. It’s a quick ride! The timing can vary slightly depending on your exact start and end point – for example, if you’re in Perham Down (just outside Tidworth) going to southern Amesbury, that might add a couple of minutes. Traffic is generally light on the route, except perhaps during weekday rush hour or if there’s an issue on the A303. Even then, we’re talking maybe 15-20 minutes at most in typical conditions. If timing is critical for you (say, you need to be on time for a bus connection or appointment), let your driver know – we always plan the route to get you there punctually.
Yes, very easy with A1 Stephens. You can pre-book your return or simply call us when you’re ready to head back. Because we often have drivers around Amesbury (serving the whole local area), response times are usually quick. If you’re at a notable spot in Amesbury – like Tesco Superstore, Solstice Park, the Holiday Inn, or the town center – just mention it, and our driver will know exactly where to find you. Many Tidworth folks use us to ensure they have a guaranteed ride back after visiting Amesbury, especially in the evenings when buses might have stopped. We won’t leave you stranded.
Absolutely. We cover all the surrounding villages and areas. If your pickup or drop-off is in places like Bulford Camp, Durrington, Larkhill, Figheldean, or any little hamlet on the way, we’re happy to accommodate. In fact, we often drive military personnel and their families to these villages. Just provide the address or landmark when you book, and we’ll get there. Remote location? Gated area? Not a problem – our drivers are resourceful and will find you, even if it’s down a country lane. Serving the “nooks and crannies” of Wiltshire is part of our commitment to being a truly local taxi service.
Yes! Stonehenge is a stone’s throw (pun intended) from Amesbury. If you’re in Tidworth and want to go see Stonehenge, we can take you there directly (it’s about a 15-20 minute drive). We also cater to visitors staying in Tidworth or Amesbury hotels who need a ride to the Stonehenge Visitor Centre. You can either book a one-way trip or arrange for us to wait and bring you back after your visit. We’re very familiar with the Stonehenge setup – we can drop you right at the visitor entrance. Visiting at sunrise for the Solstice or staying for the sunset? No worries, we operate at all hours. Just keep in mind Stonehenge has specific opening times and access rules, but as far as transport goes, we’ve got you covered whenever you want to go. Enjoy the stones, and leave the driving to us!
