It is well connected to Newcastle via the A695, making it a popular spot for commuters who want a quieter pace of life without being too far from the city.

About Local TaxisHow we support local drivers in Prudhoe▼
Supporting Local Business
Every Local Taxis booking supports a local driver and their family right here in Prudhoe. Our drivers live in the communities they serve. They know the backroads, the shortcuts, and which streets flood when it rains. When you choose Local Taxis over a national app or a bus company headquartered 200 miles away, that money stays in Tyne and Wear.
If you've ever used one of the big ride-hailing apps, your driver has probably asked how much you paid. Those faceless algorithms take an ever-growing cut — sometimes 40% or more — while offering no real customer support, no local phone number, and no accountability when things go wrong.
With Local Taxis, your driver keeps a fair share. If there's a problem, you speak to a real person — not a chatbot, not a ticket queue. We're a Tyne and Wear business built by people who live here, for people who live here.
You can only book through our app, but we're always here if you need us. Call us on 0191 462 0060, email info@localgrp.uk, or message us through the app.
How do I book?
Book by app, online, or phone — whichever works best for you. The app gives you an instant estimated fares and live driver tracking, but you can always call us too. We're here 24/7.
