Whiteside Taxis The company was founded by Thomas Whiteside in 1880 and is the oldest taxi company in England. The story goes that he won a horse’s harness in a raffle. Annes.
(312)

Established in 1880, and successfully run by four generations of the Whitesides, we are a family owned company in Blackpool & Fylde with over 146 years' experience in offering the utmost customer care, comfort and reliability at competitive prices. He then borrowed a horse and cart from his uncle and started a haulage business and as the saying goes, the rest is history…

Since those humble beginnings Whiteside Taxis has grown, and is the largest taxi company in the Fylde with our new purpose built offices situated in the heart of St.

🚕 Traffic said “good luck.” Whiteside said “we’ve got this.” 😄

Lynn’s driver was spot on time, smart, friendly, professional — and still got her to Manchester on time despite heavy traffic and diversions.

Basically: traffic tried. Whiteside delivered. 😂

What’s worse on a journey — traffic, roadworks or that one driver who says “I know a shortcut”? 👇

❤️ 146 YEARS YOUNG! ❤️
On 11th October 2026, Whiteside Taxis celebrates an incredible 146 years.

From horse-drawn carriages in 1880 to the cars you see on the roads today, so much has changed… but one thing hasn’t:

We’re still here, and we’re still proudly serving our community.

For 146 years, generations of Whitesides, our amazing drivers and our wonderful customers have been part of this story.

To everyone who has booked with us, driven for us, worked with us, recommended us, supported us or simply waved to a Whiteside car passing by — thank you. ❤️

We never take for granted what it means to have been trusted for 146 years.

Here’s to the memories we’ve made, the journeys still to come, and the next chapter of the Whiteside story.

146 years young… and still going strong! 🩷
