Caerphilly (Caerffili) is a market town under the castle walls — castle-event days fill the centre; it shares Caerphilly CBC’s taxi table, not Cardiff’s.

Minibuses and group taxis in Caerphilly

For Cadw event days at the castle, cheese-festival groups, or a shared airport run, book an 8-seater as private hire. Castle-side streets and the Twyn fill with saloons first — a small cab is not a group solution.

Ask Jay's, Castell, Fly, or Blackwood Taxis for vehicle size when you book. Pre-book the night before a castle event rather than hoping for walk-up capacity after the walls close.
