MFB Cars - Private Hire - Uckfield - 01825 749407
Private Hire for airports, cruise terminals, hospital visits, special and social occasions
MFB Cars is a family business operated by Mike and Frances Brett, established in 1991, and based in Uckfield.
Private Hire is similar to a taxi service, in that we are licensed by our District Council, we are CRB checked, have regular medicals (like airline pilots) and the vehicles are regularly inspected. However, we are not allowed to display the word “taxi” on the vehicles or in advertising. We cannot stand on a taxi rank or be hailed in the street. All our rides have to be pre-booked.
Our catchment area runs from Haywards Heath/Lindfield in the west to the far end of the A272 beyond Hadlow Down in the east. We cover Uckfield and the surrounding villages, i.e. Nutley, Fairwarp, Maresfield, Buxted, Framfield, Blackboys, East Hoathly, Halland, Ridgewood, Little Horsted, Isfield, Newick, Fletching, Piltdown, Sheffield Park, Danehill and Chelwood Gate.
We have 2 vehicles, both Toyota Avensis, one is an estate the other a hatchback. Both have air-con and automatic transmission. The Avensis is British made, and has consistently been voted one of the country’s most reliable cars.
Over the years we have formed working relationships with a number of other self-employed Private Hire operators in the Uckfield area, so we are part of a group which has evolved into a network which can provide normal cars like ours for “taxi” journeys such as airports, cruise terminals, hospital visits, shopping trips, but we can also access “posh” cars such as Mercedes or big BMW for weddings or special occasions, or people carriers and minibuses for larger groups of people.
We only work with other Private Hire or Taxi operators who share our philosophy. Reliability, honesty, and friendliness are our keynotes, and our prices are always competitive with local taxi firms.
Our cars do not have meters so any price quoted at the start of the journey will be honoured irrespective of delays or diversions due to traffic jams, road works, etc.
