🚖 Taxi vs Pre-Booked Transport
Rural Devon doesn’t always suit last-minute taxis — especially in the evenings or after events. Many couples choose pre-booked private hire because it offers:
-
Guaranteed pickup times
-
No waiting or last-minute stress
-
Space for outfits, gifts and luggage
-
A familiar driver who knows venues, access routes and timings
