A hospital trip is stressful enough without worrying about how you are getting there and back. Whether it is an early outpatient appointment at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, a course of treatment that means regular visits, or collecting a relative who has just been discharged, the last thing you need is an unreliable lift. That is where we come in. Huddersfield Taxis Ltd has been running hospital transfers across the town since 1980, and over 46 years we have carried thousands of patients and visitors to appointments on time, calmly and safely.
We know these journeys are not like any other taxi run. People are often anxious, sometimes in discomfort, occasionally travelling alone when they would rather not be. Our drivers understand that, and they treat every hospital passenger with the patience and care they would want for their own family. To book a hospital transfer taxi, call us any time on 01484 300030 or book through our online booking system.
Our hospital transfer taxis cover far more than a simple drop-off. Day to day we help with:
We collect patients from right across our area, so whether you are in Almondbury, Marsh, Newsome or Dalton close to town, out in the Colne Valley in Slaithwaite, Golcar or Marsden, over in the Holme Valley in Honley, Meltham or Holmfirth, or further out in Kirkburton, Shelley, Skelmanthorpe, Mirfield or Brighouse, a car is never far away. With more than 500 drivers on the road, we have the numbers to reach you quickly, even at busy times when smaller firms leave you waiting.
Because we have driven these routes for decades, our drivers know exactly which entrance you need, where the drop-off points are and how the traffic around each site behaves at different times of day.
Wherever your appointment letter is sending you, we can get you there. If it is a hospital not listed here, just tell us when you book.
Taxi to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary. The HRI on Acre Street in Lindley is our most frequent hospital run, sitting about three miles from the town centre. We also cover the Acre Mills Outpatients unit directly across the road, where most outpatient clinics are now based.
Taxi to The Huddersfield Private Hospital. We take patients to the private hospital in Birkby for consultations and procedures, a short and straightforward journey from most parts of town.
Taxi to Leeds and Wakefield hospitals. Plenty of specialist referrals send Huddersfield patients further afield, so we also run fixed-price transfers to Leeds General Infirmary, St James’s University Hospital and Pinderfields in Wakefield. These are longer journeys where a dependable pre-booked car really pays off.
Taxi to Calderdale Royal Hospital. For appointments in Halifax, we run regular transfers over to Calderdale Royal, the sister hospital to HRI within the same NHS trust.
Taxi to Spire Elland Hospital. Just off the M62 at junction 24, Spire Elland is the closest full private hospital for many local patients, and we cover it daily.
There are a few reasons local families trust us with these journeys. We have been doing this since 1980, we were named Yorkshire Taxi Firm of the Year 2022/23, and we hold a 4.3 rating on Google from well over a thousand reviews. Every one of our drivers is licensed by the council and meets standards backed by additional NVQ service training, so you are always in safe, professional hands. You can learn more about the company on our about us page, or see the full range of what we do on our services page.
