Taxis in Shaw You Can Actually Rely On
There’s nothing worse than booking a cab and watching the clock while you wait to see if it turns up. That’s not how Car 2000 operates. We’ve covered Shaw and the wider Oldham area for over 55 years, and in that time we’ve built our reputation on one simple thing: turning up when we say we will.
Getting a ride is straightforward. Get a quote, confirm the details, and your driver is already on the way. Prices don’t change once they’re set, and nothing gets sneaked onto the bill later.
Three decades in this business have taught us what people actually want from a local taxi firm. Here’s what’s included as standard:
Easy Booking
Book by phone, our app, or the website, whichever suits you on the day.
Genuine 24/7
Round-the-clock availability, not just advertised hours.
Luggage Storage
Space for suitcases, shopping, or awkward items that won’t fit in a normal boot.
Trusted Drivers
Each driver is licensed by Rochdale Council and fully vetted before joining.
No Hidden Fees
Complete transparency ever. What we quote is what you pay.
Fixed Pricing
Agreed before the journey starts and locked in regardless of traffic.
Wheelchair Accessible
Fully adapted vehicles with drivers trained specifically to help.
Late Night Cabs
For shift workers, students, and anyone out past the last bus.
Instant Booking
When you need a taxi right away, no advance scheduling required.
Parcel Delivery
Fast drop-offs because sometimes it’s a package that needs a lift.

A VEHICLE FOR EVERY JOURNEY
We keep a mixed fleet so you’re never stuck with the wrong car for the job, whether that’s a solo trip into town or a full family outing. Each vehicle is inspected and cleaned regularly, and every cab is on the road because our drivers know Shaw and its surrounding routes properly.
| FLEET TYPE | PASSENGER CAPACITY | LARGE LUGGAGE | SMALL CASES |
|---|---|---|---|
| Any Vehicle | 4 | 2 | 2 |
| Standard | 4 | 2-4 | 2-4 |
| Executive | 4 | 2-4 | 4 |

AIRPORT RUNS FROM SHAW
Flying somewhere? We handle the transfer, wherever you’re headed. Fixed pricing means you know the fare before you leave the house.
| AIRPORT | APPROX. DISTANCE FROM SHAW | APPROX. JOURNEY TIME |
|---|---|---|
| Manchester Airport | 35 km | 30 – 40 minutes |
| Leeds Bradford Airport | 55 km | 60 – 70 minutes |

| East Midlands Airport | 144 km | 1 hour 55 mins – 2 hours 15 mins |

These are estimates, and actual travel time depends on the road conditions on the day. For early flights, we’d rather build in extra time than have you cutting it fine. Our drivers monitor arrival details on return journeys too, so you won’t be left standing at the terminal.
