Caterham residents are spoilt for choice when it comes to booking a taxi but one of the local firms that stands out from the crowd is the longestablised Catax, that has been serving Caterham, Warlingham and the Tandridge area since 1946.

Catax operates 24/7 and their long-serving drivers know the area well. Always smartly dressed with clean cars, they drive a selection of vehicles from saloon and estate cars to eight seater minibuses - ideal for hen and stag nights out!

The taxis cover all airports, train stations and ports and their computerised booking system enables the controllers to monitor the driver status at all times.

The management of Catax regularly carries out Customer Satisfaction surveys to ensure the high standards of service are maintained.

Trevor Nott, the owner of Catax, welcomes fair competition but explained that sadly there are some unscrupulous firms around. He said: "When booking a taxi people should know that there are some companies that operate within the Tandridge District even though they are not licensed to do so. This is unethical and Tandridge are looking at this problem to try and resolve it. However, fortunately a great proportion of our clients have been with us for many years and remain very loyal."

Catax has two offices, one in Station Avenue, Caterham Valley close to Caterham Railway Station (telephone 01883 345151) and the other in Station Road, Whyteleafe by Upper Warlingham Station (telephone 01883 626442).
