Uckfield Private Hire, Streatfield Road, Uckfield (2026)

12/10/2026

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, depending on when you see this! 😄

Well, we’re nearly halfway through October already! 🍁 The leaves are changing colour, the evenings are getting darker, Halloween decorations are starting to appear, and Christmas is waiting around the corner.

Seriously, where has this year gone?! 😂

But while the seasons keep changing, one thing remains the same, Uckfield Private Hire is still here and happy to help with your journeys!

Whether you’re planning an autumn getaway, heading to the airport for some sunshine, catching a cruise, visiting friends or family, enjoying a night out, or simply need to get somewhere without worrying about the driving, I’m more than happy to help.

Airport transfers:

Gatwick from £65
Heathrow from £150
Stansted from £215
Luton from £240

Seaport transfers
Days out and weekend getaways
Halloween parties and nights out
Local and long-distance journeys

As many of you already know, Uckfield Private Hire is still a one-man band with one blue Mercedes.

Unfortunately, despite four years of practice, I still haven’t mastered the ability to be in two places at once. Believe me, I’ve tried, but even the Mercedes isn’t that clever! 😂

I’m also very grateful to Russell, who always tried to help me cover journeys when I’m already committed elsewhere. If I’m unavailable, I’ll always do my best to recommend or arrange another trusted local driver.

A little reminder: If you already know the date and time of your journey, please get in touch as early as possible. My diary can fill up surprisingly quickly, and I’d hate to disappoint anyone.

The easiest way to contact me is by text or WhatsApp:

+44 7305 055918

If you call and I can’t answer, please send me a message. I’m probably behind the wheel (or sleeping, yes, sometimes I do sleep 😄), and I’ll get back to you as soon as it’s safe to do so.

And finally, a massive THANK YOU!

To everyone who has travelled with me, recommended my service, shared my posts, or simply given me a friendly wave when spotting the blue Mercedes around Uckfield your continued support means a great deal.

And to those who haven’t travelled with me yet, I look forward to hopefully meeting you soon!

Enjoy this lovely autumn, stay safe on those darker evenings, and remember whether you’re escaping the British weather or just heading down the road, there’s always a blue taxi happy to help… subject to availability, of course!

🎃NO TRICKS… JUST RIDES! – UCKFIELD PRIVATE HIRE 👻

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, depending on when you see this! 😄

October is here, the evenings are getting darker, the leaves are falling and Halloween is creeping closer… 🎃👻

So, whether you’re planning a Halloween party, a night out, an autumn getaway, an airport or seaport transfer, visiting family, or simply need to get from A to B without flying there on a broomstick 🧹😂

Uckfield Private Hire is happy to help!

As always, I’m still a one-man band with one blue Mercedes, so there’s unfortunately no magic spell that allows me to be in two places at once. 😄 If you already know when you’ll need me, booking in advance is definitely recommended.

And if I’m already booked, don’t be scared! 👻 I’ll always try to help by recommending or arranging another trusted local driver where possible.

- Airport transfers
- Seaport transfers
- Parties & nights out
- Days out & autumn getaways
- Local and long-distance journeys

For airport transfers, current prices start from £65 Gatwick, £150 Heathrow, £215 Stansted and £240 Luton.

The easiest way to contact me is by Text or WhatsApp:
+44 7305 055918

If you call and I can’t answer, I’m most likely driving rather than hiding from ghosts 👻 please send me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as I safely can.

And whether you’ve travelled with me many times before or you’re thinking about your first journey with Uckfield Private Hire, thank you for supporting my little one-man business. It really is hugely appreciated.

🎃 This Halloween, leave the broomstick at home… the blue taxi is much more comfortable!

✈️ What’s going on with Gatwick’s flight-checking systems?

I’m genuinely wondering what has happened over the last couple of days.

The flight-checking services through WhatsApp and Messenger, which were incredibly useful for keeping track of arrivals, don’t appear to be available at the moment.

For someone providing airport transfers, having easy access to accurate, up-to-date flight information is really important. It helps me plan properly, avoid unnecessary waiting and, most importantly, make sure I’m there when my passengers need me.

Unfortunately, the website doesn’t seem to offer the same convenient service either — just email notifications.

Yet somehow, charging £10 for a very brief terminal drop-off continues to work perfectly well. 😅

I completely understand that systems occasionally have technical problems, but when passengers and professional drivers are paying significant airport access charges, I think it’s reasonable to expect the useful services around those charges to work reliably too.

Hopefully this is only temporary and the WhatsApp/Messenger flight-checking service will be back soon, because at the moment something just doesn’t quite look right with this picture. 🤔✈️🚖

AUTUMN IS HERE… AND WHAT AN AMAZING ONE IT IS!

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, depending on when you see this! 😄

The leaves are changing, the mornings are getting a little cooler, and somehow we’re already heading towards October.

Where did the year go?!

But just because summer has packed its suitcase and gone home doesn’t mean you have to!

Whether you’re heading to the airport for some autumn sunshine, starting a cruise, planning a weekend getaway, visiting family, enjoying a night out or simply need a comfortable long-distance journey, Uckfield Private Hire is here to help.

Airport transfers are available to Gatwick from £65, Heathrow from £150, Stansted from £215 and Luton from £240, as well as other airports and seaports, just ask for a quote.

As many of you already know, I’m still a one-man band with one blue car (which thankfully requires considerably less pedalling than the bike did this summer!). If I’m already committed elsewhere, I’ll always try my best to help by recommending or arranging another trusted driver where possible.

If you already know your travel dates, booking early is always recommended. There’s only one of me, and unfortunately I still haven’t worked out how to be at Gatwick and Heathrow at the same time! 😂

The easiest way to book is by Text or WhatsApp:
+44 7305 055918

If you call and I can’t answer, please drop me a message. I’m very often driving (or believe or not sometimes need to sleep too), and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

To everyone who continues to book with me, recommend me to friends and family, share my posts or simply wave when you see the blue Mercedes around, thank you. Your continued support really does mean a lot. 💙

And if you haven’t travelled with me before, I look forward to hopefully welcoming you aboard soon. 😊

Enjoy this beautiful autumn and wherever the season takes you, let me take care of the driving!

SCHOOL’S STARTED… BUT THE AIRPORTS, SEAPORTS & GETAWAYS ARE STILL WAITING!

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening - depending on when you see this! 😄

The summer holidays might be behind us, the children are back at school and normal life has returned… but who says the travelling has to stop? 😉

Whether you’re planning some autumn sunshine, a city break, a cruise, visiting family, travelling for work or simply fancy getting away, Uckfield Private Hire is here to help.

Airport transfers:
Gatwick from £65
Heathrow from £150
Stansted from £215
Luton from £240

I’m also very happy to help with seaport transfers, long-distance journeys, days out and other getaways. Basically, if there’s a road going there, there’s a good chance the blue Mercedes can too! 😄

As always, I’m still a one-man band with one car, so if you already know your travel dates, please book as early as possible. My diary can fill up quickly, particularly for airport transfers.

And although it’s mainly me behind the wheel, I’ve been very lucky to have Russell’s help over the last couple of years. Many of you have already met him when he’s stepped in to cover journeys while I’ve been committed elsewhere. If I’m unavailable, I’ll always do my best to recommend or arrange another trusted driver rather than simply leaving you stuck.

My estate can accommodate up to 4 passengers, with plenty of room for luggage depending on the amount and size just let me know what you’re bringing when booking.

Booking is easiest by Text or WhatsApp:
+44 7305 055918

If you call and I can’t answer, please send me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Whether you’ve travelled with me many times before or you’ve never sat in the famous blue taxi yet, you’re very welcome to get in touch. 😊

Thank you, as always, for supporting Uckfield Private Hire.

School may have started again… but your next adventure doesn’t have to wait until next summer!

SUMMER MAY BE OVER… BUT THE AIRPORTS HAVEN’T GONE ANYWHERE! 😄

Well, that’s another summer pretty much done!

The suitcases might be back in the cupboard and the kids are back to school… but thankfully, holidays don’t have to stop just because summer has!

If you’re planning some autumn sunshine, a city break, visiting family, travelling for work, or perhaps you’re already thinking about escaping the winter weather - Uckfield Private Hire is here to help.

And believe me… the airports are still happily waiting for you! 😄

Whether you’re travelling to Gatwick, Heathrow or another UK airport, I’m more than happy to take you there and bring you home again.

The holiday should start when you close your front door - not when you finally get through airport security! 😂

As always, I’m still a one-man band with one blue car, with some much-appreciated help from Russell when I’m already committed elsewhere. If I can’t personally take your journey, I’ll always try to help by recommending or arranging another trusted local driver.

Already know when you’re travelling?
Please book as early as you can. My diary can fill up quickly, especially for those lovely early-morning airport runs when sensible people are still asleep! 😴

Booking is easiest by Text or WhatsApp:
+44 7305 055918

If you call and I can’t answer, please send me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Whether you’ve travelled with me many times or you’re thinking about booking your first journey, I’ll be very happy to hear from you.

- Comfortable journey
- Airport transfers
- Plenty of luggage space
- Friendly, personal service
- From your door to the airport and back home again

Thank you, as always, for your continued support of Uckfield Private Hire. It really is hugely appreciated. 💙

See you soon!

🚴‍♂️💙 300 Miles Completed… But This Journey Isn’t Over Yet! 💙🚴‍♂️

Well… I did it! 🎉🥳

When I started this challenge at the beginning of June, I wasn’t quite sure what I’d let myself in for. There were moments when the weather wasn’t on my side, my legs questioned my life choices, and even the technology decided to have a little disagreement with my fundraising page! 😅

But thanks to all of your incredible support, I’m so happy to say that I’ve now completed 300.46 miles! 🚴‍♂️🎉

Even more importantly, together we’ve raised an amazing £390.00 for Prostate Cancer Research! 💙

I honestly can’t thank you all enough.

Whether you’ve donated, shared my posts, cheered me on, asked how I was getting on, waved as I cycled past, or simply believed in what I was doing… thank you. Every message, every pound and every bit of encouragement has kept me pedalling.

For those who know me through Uckfield Private Hire, you’ve probably noticed that my blue taxi has been carrying a bike on the roof more often than not lately! 🚖🚴‍♂️😄

But here’s the exciting bit…

Although I’ve completed my 300-mile challenge, I’m not stopping here!

I made myself a promise that I’ll continue cycling one mile for every pound raised for this fantastic cause.

So, with £390.00 raised so far…

🚴‍♂️ My next target is another 90 miles!

Let’s see how far we can take this together! 💪

The JustGiving page will remain open until 28th September 2026, so if you’d still like to support this amazing cause, there’s plenty of time.

I’ll continue posting updates along the way, sharing how the journey is going and, at the end, we’ll see just how many miles we’ve managed to turn into hope together.

This challenge has always been about more than cycling. It’s about remembering my dad, supporting life-saving prostate cancer research, and hopefully helping other families in the future.

Thank you all once again from the bottom of my heart. Your kindness and generosity mean more than words can say.

Right then… the challenge may have reached 300 miles…

…but the bike says we’re not finished yet! 😄🚴‍♂️💙

If you’d like to support the cause, you can still donate here:

🚴‍♂️💙 300 Miles in June – Final Week Update! 💙🚴‍♂️

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening – depending on when you see this! 😄

Well, we’ve officially entered the 4th and final week of my 300 Miles in June Challenge for Prostate Cancer Research, and what a journey it has been so far!

🚴‍♂️ 226.22 miles completed
🎯 73.78 miles remaining
💙 £360.00 raised

Firstly, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has donated, shared the page, sent encouraging messages, asked for updates, or simply cheered me on. Your support genuinely means a lot and helps keep me going when the sofa starts making very attractive offers! 😅

I think many of you can probably spot me around Uckfield these days. The blue taxi is still working hard, but it now spends a lot of its time carrying a bike on the roof. I suspect some people are beginning to think I’m actually a cyclist who occasionally drives a taxi! 🚖🚴‍♂️😂

A quick note regarding the fundraising page:
Unfortunately, not all of my rides appear automatically on JustGiving. The communication between Strava and the fundraising page hasn’t always worked as it should, so some rides haven’t been recorded there. Rest assured, every mile is being tracked and counted, even if technology occasionally decides to go for a ride of its own! 🤦‍♂️😄

For those who don’t know, I’m taking on this challenge in memory of my father and to support the incredible work carried out by Prostate Cancer Research. Every donation helps fund vital research and supports families affected by this disease.

With just 73.78 miles left, the finish line is finally coming into sight. The bike is loving it, my legs are still negotiating their contract, and I’m starting to think I should have challenged myself to drive 300 miles instead! 😆

If you’d like to support the challenge, there’s still time:

Let’s see if we can finish June strong! 🚴‍♂️💪

🚴‍♂️ Challenge Update: The Driver Is Making Progress… Even If Technology Didn’t at First!

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, depending on when you see this! 😄

It’s time for another update on my 300 Miles in June Challenge for Prostate Cancer Research.

First of all, I need to make it clear, on 1st June, there seems to have been a small disagreement between my recording gadget and my JustGiving page. 🤦‍♂️😅

While I was happily cycling away, the technology wasn’t quite as enthusiastic and some of the miles didn’t make it onto the fundraising page. Which means my actual progress is not showing properly.

So, where am I now?

🚴‍♂️ 168.10 miles completed
🎯 131.90 miles remaining

Not bad for someone whose usual exercise involves moving a suitcase from the pavement into the boot! 😄

The really amazing news is that together we’ve now raised an incredible £340.00 for Prostate Cancer Research. 💙

To everyone who has donated, shared the page, sent messages of support, asked how the challenge is going, or simply smiled and waved when you’ve seen a blue taxi driving around with a bike strapped to the roof, thank you!

I genuinely appreciate every bit of support.

For those who don’t know, I’m taking on this challenge in memory of my father and to support the fight against prostate cancer. Every pound raised helps fund vital research and hopefully improve outcomes for families facing this disease in the future.

I have now passed the halfway mark, which is great news. But I still have 131.90 miles to go before the end of June! 😆

The bike seems very pleased with this arrangement. My legs, however, would like to file an official complaint and request fewer hills in East Sussex. 🚴‍♂️⛰️😂

The challenge continues until 30th June, so there is still plenty of time to support the cause if you would like to.

💙 Donate here:
https://www.justgiving.com/page/tamas-csoma-uph

Thank you once again for all your generosity and encouragement. It really does help keep me pedalling when the sofa is calling my name!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got another date with a bicycle that seems determined to turn me into an athlete… one mile at a time. 😄🚴‍♂️

🚴‍♂️ Challenge Update – The Driver Is Still Pedalling! 🚴‍♂️

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, depending on when you see this! 😄

Started a week ago, I swapped occasionally my trusty blue taxi for a bicycle and set myself a challenge to cycle 300 miles during June in support of Prostate Cancer Research.

Well, after the first 7 days, I’m pleased to report that I’ve completed 93.48 miles! 🎉🚴‍♂️

That means I only have… 🤔

🚴‍♂️ 206.52 miles still to go!

Suddenly, 300 miles doesn’t sound quite as clever an idea as it did when I signed up! 😅

I believe many of you can probably spot me around town more often now, not because of the taxi sign on top of my car, but because there’s usually a bike on top of it instead! 🚴‍♂️😅

I’d like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me so far, whether by:
💙 Making a donation
💙 Sharing the page
💙 Sending encouraging messages
💙 Or simply asking how my legs are surviving!

Together, you’ve already helped raise an amazing £290.00 for Prostate Cancer Research, which is absolutely fantastic and very much appreciated. 🙏

The challenge is still very much alive and continues until 30th June, so there is still plenty of time for me to complete the remaining miles (and for my legs to negotiate better working conditions 😄).

For those who don’t know, I’m taking on this challenge in memory of my father and to help support the fight against prostate cancer, which affects thousands of families every year.

If you’d like to support the challenge, every donation, no matter how small, is hugely appreciated.

💙 Donate here:
https://www.justgiving.com/page/tamas-csoma-uph

Thank you again for all your support. It genuinely means a lot.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, my bicycle seems to think we’re best friends and is waiting for today’s shift to start… 🚴‍♂️😄
