A better way to find & book your transfer
Compare quotes from licensed local operators, all in one place — no more scrolling through Facebook groups or calling around to find a price.
A clear opportunity to make things better
Booking a transfer shouldn't be complicated. Yet anyone who's tried to find a price for an airport run will know the drill — multiple websites with no quotes shown, or a quick post on a Facebook group hoping someone knows a good driver. There's a real gap here, and we think it's one worth filling.
CabMatch is a straightforward marketplace: customers post a trip, licensed local operators respond with quotes, and you pick the one that works for you — all in one place. No middlemen, no mystery pricing, no faff.
For operators, it's an equally simple opportunity: a cost-effective way to reach customers who are actively looking to book, without the overheads of running a full booking platform of their own.

Launching in Portsmouth & Southampton
We're starting close to home — focusing on Portsmouth, Southampton and surrounding towns in the PO and SO postcode areas. Participating licensed taxi and private hire operators choose the areas and journeys they cover. Your journey can travel in either direction beyond PO/SO, with quotes depending on operator availability.
As we grow, we'll expand to more areas across the UK — but for now we're focused on building something brilliant for the south coast first.
Operators may be licensed by different relevant authorities. More areas are planned as we grow.

The person behind CabMatch
James Kendall
Founder · Chief tea maker · Walking map of Heathrow Airport!
James came up with the idea for CabMatch after experiencing first-hand how difficult it can be to find and compare prices for airport transfers. Like many people, he'd seen the endless posts on local Facebook groups — "Can anyone recommend a reliable taxi to Heathrow?" — and thought: there has to be a better way.
What makes James's perspective unique is that he's been on both sides of the transaction. As a licensed private hire driver — previously licensed with Fareham Borough Council and currently holding a licence with Eastleigh Borough Council — he understands exactly what operators deal with day-to-day, and what customers need when they're trying to get from A to B reliably.
With a background in setting up and running businesses, James built CabMatch to be genuinely useful to both sides: a platform where customers get real, comparable prices without the faff, and where operators get a fair, affordable route to more customers.
