About Amber Cars
Amber Cars Northampton is a family-run taxi business that has stayed in the same family since it began in 1998. We have grown with Northampton, but the focus is still the same: safe, reliable journeys with a local team people know.
Our Story
Founded in 1998, Amber Cars has remained in the same family from day one. What began as a local Northampton operator has grown into a trusted private hire company with over 120 licensed drivers and over 10 million journeys completed.
That growth has not changed how we want the business to feel. We are still rooted in Northampton, still answerable to local customers, and still run with the family standards that built our reputation: turn up, communicate clearly, drive safely and treat people properly.
Today Amber Cars covers everyday taxis, airport transfers, executive travel, accessible vehicle requests and business accounts. Whether it is a 4 AM airport run, a safe ride home, or a regular journey for work, our team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Our Values
Our brand has been built on consistent local service, not short-term promises. These are the standards we expect across every booking.
Safety First
Every journey is handled by licensed, DBS-checked drivers in maintained private hire vehicles.
Punctuality
From school runs to early airport pickups, we build our service around dependable timing.
Family Standards
Amber Cars has stayed in the same family since 1998, and that personal responsibility still shapes how we look after passengers.
Local Reliability
