How do I make a booking?

Booking with minicabit takes just a few minutes. Enter your journey details, compare quotes from licensed cab providers, choose the option that best suits your needs, and complete your booking online.

Go to minicabit.com and follow the steps below:

1. Enter Your Trip Information

  • Return trips - ensure you select 'return'.

  • Pickup date and time - Specify your desired pickup date and time.

  • Number of passengers - All passengers must be included in the total passenger count, including infants and children.
