Minibuses and group taxis in Caernarfon

For castle wedding parties, Welsh Highland Railway group days, or family airport runs, book an 8-seater or minibus as private hire. Peak summer and Cadw event days fill saloons first.

Ask Rapid Ride (01248 544123) or a local operator for vehicle size when you book. Narrow medieval streets mean larger vehicles should drop at Doc Fictoria or the Slate Quay rather than forcing the castle gate.
