About WAVE
Independent, Fully Licensed Passenger Transport from North Wales
WAVE is an independent, fully licensed and insured North Wales passenger transport business, trading as WAVE Taxi and WAVE Private Hire.
We are also a licensed Private Hire Operator, providing direct private transport for customers travelling across North Wales, throughout the UK and, where required, to destinations in Europe.
Our service is built around four main areas:
Long-distance taxi journeys from or to North Wales
Airport transfers from or to North Wales
Town-to-town transport across North Wales
Premium private tours in North Wales and across the UK .
Customers can arrange a journey well in advance, on the same day, at very short notice or immediately, subject to availability.
Journeys are booked directly through WAVE using different contact and booking channels, including telephone, email, WhatsApp and our taxi booking app.
WAVE operates mainly on a fixed-price basis for airport transfers, long-distance journeys and premium private tours. Once the route and booking details are agreed, customers receive one clear final price before travel.
Long-Distance Taxi Travel from and to North Wales
Long-distance taxi travel is WAVE’s main specialist service.
We provide private journeys from North Wales to destinations throughout England, Scotland and Wales. Where required, we can also arrange longer international road journeys to destinations in Europe.
We can collect passengers from locations across the UK and transport them directly to North Wales. Journeys can also start in North Wales and finish at another agreed destination anywhere in the UK.
Customers use WAVE for long-distance travel for many different reasons, including:
Work and business travel
Family visits
Hospital appointments
Relocation
Rail disruption
Emergency journeys
Cruise and ferry connections
Travel with luggage
National road journeys
Premium private tours
A long-distance taxi journey requires different planning and standards from a short trip around town.
Passengers may spend several hours in the vehicle, travelling on motorways and through changing road, traffic and weather conditions.
For longer journeys, we pay particular attention to passenger comfort, luggage capacity, vehicle condition, motorway travel, suitable rest stops, realistic journey times and clear communication.
Long-distance transport is not an occasional extra service for WAVE. It is one of the main areas of our business.
Airport Transfers from and to North Wales
Airport transfers are another core WAVE service.
We provide airport drop-offs from North Wales to airports throughout the UK.
We also collect passengers from UK airports and transport them directly to homes, hotels, holiday accommodation and other destinations across North Wales.
Airport journeys require careful planning because passengers need to reach the terminal in time for their flight.
We consider the complete journey, including:
Pickup location
Airport and terminal
Flight time
Expected driving time
Traffic and road conditions
Weather
Passenger numbers
Luggage
Comfort breaks
Airport access arrangements
Our fixed airport transfer price includes all normal costs of the agreed journey, including airport access charges, required parking, tolls and road charges.
The confirmed price is the final price for the agreed journey, with no surprise airport, parking or toll charges added later.
North Wales Town-to-Town Transport
Our local service is mainly focused on useful town-to-town journeys across North Wales.
It should not be understood as only short trips within Llandudno, Conwy or another single town.
We transport customers between towns, villages, hospitals, railway stations, workplaces, hotels, attractions and residential addresses throughout the region.
Typical journeys may connect Conwy County with:
Bangor
Caernarfon
Llanberis
Betws-y-Coed
Llanrwst
Glan Clwyd Hospital
Rhyl
Prestatyn
St Asaph
Menai Bridge
Beaumaris
Llangefni
Holyhead
Blaenau Ffestiniog
Porthmadog
Pwllheli
We may also provide shorter journeys when a vehicle is available, but our main local focus is practical town-to-town travel across North Wales.
This service sits alongside our two principal specialist services: long-distance taxi journeys and airport transfers from or to North Wales.
Customers can contact us for journeys needed immediately, later the same day or on a future date. Availability depends on the pickup location, journey requirements and the availability of a suitable driver and vehicle.
Premium Private Tours
WAVE also provides premium private tours for individuals, couples, families and small groups.
Our main tour service focuses on Snowdonia, also known as Eryri, and the wider North Wales region.
Private tours can include mountains, lakes, castles, historic towns, coastal roads, Anglesey, Portmeirion and some of the most beautiful places in North Wales.
The owner of WAVE is a participant in the official Snowdonia National Park Ambassador Scheme, bringing additional knowledge and understanding of Snowdonia, North Wales and responsible tourism to the service.
For customers looking for a larger journey, we can arrange premium private tours across the UK by special request.
These may include:
The Lake District
Hadrian’s Wall
London and southern England
Historic cities and landmarks
Edinburgh and Glasgow
Loch Lomond
Glencoe
The Scottish Highlands
Loch Ness
The Isle of Skye
Multi-day tours can combine some of the most famous destinations, must-see attractions and beautiful landscapes across England, Scotland and Wales.
Where required, we can collect customers from any UK airport and begin the tour directly from there. Tours can start in one location and finish at another airport, hotel, port or destination.
By individual arrangement, longer private tours and international road journeys may also include destinations in Europe.
Every premium private tour is planned around the customer’s available time, interests, accommodation and preferred route.
