Shinfield Taxi: Pre-Booked Rides and Airport Transfers
Nationwide Cars runs pre-booked taxis from Shinfield, the village and parish just south of Reading, covering the RG2 and RG7 postcodes. Shinfield is about 3 to 4 miles from Reading town centre, and we collect you at your own address, whether you are in the village itself, Shinfield Park, Three Mile Cross or Ryeish Green.
Shinfield is in Wokingham Borough rather than Reading Borough, but Reading is its nearest big town and rail hub, and Junction 11 of the M4 is close by for a quick run out to the airports. We cover journeys to and from Shinfield Park, the Thames Valley Science Park and Shinfield Studios as well as homes across the parish.
We are based in Reading and have been on the road for over 10 years, with nearly 5,000 happy customers and more than 25,000 miles driven. You book, we confirm your fare, and a driver turns up.
