What to know
## Abergele taxi fares
Abergele is the Conwy-coast market town behind Pensarn beach — Conwy taxi table; town is inland of the seafront.
## Getting around by taxi
Abergele is a smaller market town between Colwyn Bay and Rhyl on the A55 corridor, and its taxi provision is private-hire only — no big-fleet operators. Gele Private Hire (07771 501569) is the main local name, running from the centre of Abergele and covering the local area from Deganwy to Abergele. Courtesy Cars (01745 353333), based in Towyn to the east, covers the wider area including Kinmel Bay. Abergele Taxis (01745 823344) is the landline taxi number that has served the town for years.
All drivers operate under Conwy CBC's maximum tariff. Journeys to Rhyl or Colwyn Bay are typically 15–20 minutes and cost around £12–16. For airport runs to Manchester, pre-booking at least 48 hours ahead with Gele Private Hire is the usual approach — they use larger Seat Alhambra and Ford Tourneo vehicles for group airport transfers.
