How we rank

A transparent score you can trust

Every firm gets a Taxis Norwich Score out of 100. Reliability leans on both the rating and the number of reviews, so a handful of five-stars can't outrank a proven operator.

35%

Reliability

Review rating weighted by review volume — punctuality & consistency.

30%

Location

Proximity of the firm's base & ranks to the city centre.

15%

Popularity

General standing and awareness across Norwich.

10%

Longevity

Years in business and track record locally.

A remaining 10% editorial adjustment reflects local knowledge, press recognition and council/school-contract status. Read the full methodology →

Norwich taxi FAQs

Which is the best taxi company in Norwich? +

Reliability is 35% of our score and blends the average rating with how many reviews a firm has, so consistency over time counts more than a few perfect scores. See the most-reliable ranking for the current order.

Yes. Firms with wheelchair-accessible vehicles (WAV) and assisted-mobility drivers carry a ♿ badge on their listing. Filter the accessible ranking to see them, and always confirm your specific needs when booking.

Each firm scores out of 100 across reliability (35%), location (30%), popularity (15%) and longevity (10%), plus a 10% editorial adjustment for local knowledge, press recognition and council/school-contract status. We're an independent guide — see how we rank.
