When you need to travel from Tidworth to Andover (or back again), you deserve a fast, comfortable, and stress-free ride. A1 Stephens Taxis is here to provide exactly that. We know you value your time and safety, so our team focuses on your needs every step of the journey. With over 35 years serving the local community, we’ve built a reputation as the go-to taxi service for Tidworth and Andover residents alike. Whether it’s an early morning trip to Andover’s train station or a late-night ride home from a restaurant, we make sure you get where you need to be – on time and with a smile.
A1 Stephens isn’t just a taxi company – we’re part of the local community. Many of our drivers and staff live in the Tidworth/Andover area, so we truly care about our neighbors. This community focus means we understand the local issues and needs. For instance, if you’re a parent in Tidworth, you might worry about your teenager getting home safely from an evening out in Andover – with our service, you can rest assured they’ll have a responsible ride home. If you’re an Andover resident who works on Tidworth Garrison, you know the buses can be infrequent – our taxis are a dependable alternative to get to work on time.
Both Tidworth and Andover have their quirks when it comes to transportation. Tidworth is a military town without a railway station, and Andover’s train station is a key link to London and beyond – we often help passengers connect from Tidworth to Andover Station for their rail journeys. Public transport options between the two towns exist (there is a bus route), but buses might run only every hour or two and don’t operate late at night. If you miss the last bus back to Tidworth after an evening at The Lights theater or a dinner in Andover, you could be stranded – but with our taxis available 24/7, you never have to worry. We fill those gaps in public transport, making sure you have a ride whenever needed. Parking is another headache we eliminate. Andover’s town centre can get busy; finding parking near the High Street or at the Chantry Centre during peak shopping hours can be frustrating. Instead of circling for a spot or walking a long distance, you can get dropped off right at the doorstep of your destination. From the Andover Museum and Museum of the Iron Age to the shops and cafes on Bridge Street, our drivers will get you there conveniently. You save time and avoid stress, all while enjoying door-to-door service.
Have you ever called a taxi and felt like just another number? That won’t happen with A1 Stephens. Our team is known for being friendly, courteous, and going the extra mile. We greet every passenger with a smile and assist with luggage or shopping bags if you have them. Regular clients know our drivers by name – you’ll often see the same familiar faces, which adds to your sense of security and comfort. It’s like getting a ride from a helpful neighbor rather than a stranger. When you ride with us, you’re supporting a local business that genuinely cares. We treat you how we’d want our own family to be treated. And it’s not just about getting from point A to B. We’re here to make the whole experience enjoyable.
