About Albatross
Sixty years on the road
Derby's chauffeurs since the 1960s, across the East Midlands and nationwide. Still turning up early, still looking after people, still one price with no small print.
Who we are
0years on the road, and counting.
Not a taxi firm with smarter cars.
Albatross has been part of Derby for six decades, and the idea has never changed: the journey should be the easy part of your day.
The cars have changed. The standard has not. Turn up early, look after people, and make the fare the last thing anyone has to think about.
Lessons
What sixty years taught us.
Four habits that have not changed since the 1960s, whoever is driving and whatever the car.
- 01
Be early. Always.
Ten minutes before you need us is on time. Anything later is not.
- 02
Say hello properly.
A name, a door held, a hand with the bags. Small things, done every time.
- 03
One price, no small print.
The fare you are quoted is the fare you pay. Waiting, tolls and parking included.
- 04
The little things are the big things.
The right temperature, the quiet cabin, the route already planned. You notice when they are missing.
