Our story
A Northampton company built on care, reliability and progress
Amber Cars combines family ownership, long-serving people, modern booking technology, and a local team that wants passengers to feel looked after.
Amber Cars timeline
1998
Amber Cars started as a family-run Northampton taxi company with a simple standard: look after local passengers properly.
Family
The company has now been passed down to the founder's son, keeping the family standards while moving the business forward.
Today
Amber Cars supports 120+ drivers, 24/7 dispatch, app, web, phone and account bookings, and journeys from local runs to long-distance travel.
Built for Northampton, ready for bigger journeys
Amber Cars has completed over 10 million journeys, from everyday Northampton taxis, school and hospital trips, and business account work to airport transfers and long-distance travel as far as Geneva.
The company is now led by the founder's son, who continues to grow the business while incorporating newer booking technology, live journey updates, app bookings, account tools and clearer communication for passengers.
Scale matters when customers need a car at busy times, but Amber Cars still values the personal side of the job: friendly office staff, drivers who know their passengers, and a team that cares about the community it serves.
Why local matters
A caring operator behind the booking button
Amber Cars is more than a web form. The local team can support special requests, repeat customers, businesses and passengers who need the right vehicle rather than just the nearest car.
Local knowledge
Dispatch and drivers understand Northampton stations, hospitals, business parks, schools, care settings, events and airport routes.
Community standards
Amber Cars is big enough for daily demand, but still local enough to care about regular passengers, local families and community organisations. The aim is to be Northampton's best taxi company for service, professionalism and reliability.
People who stay
Some drivers have worked with Amber Cars since the early years, and some office staff have been part of the company for over 20 years.
Accessibility requests
Wheelchair accessible vehicles can be requested and confirmed by the office when available.
Professional drivers
Licensed drivers support everyday taxis, school and account work, airport transfers, executive journeys and careful passenger requests.
