Our story

Three decades of local private hire

AZ Cars started taking bookings in South West London in 1996, and we still run the business from Wandsworth today.

How people book has changed. As well as calling us, you can now book online or message our team on WhatsApp. The way we work hasn’t: every journey is pre-booked, your fare is confirmed when we accept the booking, and our dispatch team is there day and night if your plans change.

We take people from homes across Putney, Wimbledon, Clapham, Tooting and the rest of South West London to work, school, stations and London’s airports, and on all the local journeys in between.
