Common questions
Is Connah's Quay the same as Flint for taxis?
Same Flintshire hackney maximum — different place. Connah's Quay is the Dee-side industrial town (Glannau Dyfrdwy), not the estuary castle. Private hire is the booked price. We do not invent a phone.
How much is a taxi in Connah's Quay?
The published figure is the Flintshire County Council hackney maximum, not a minicab quote. Tariff 1 starts at £3.10 on the meter. Private hire (pre-booked) uses the price you agree when you book. Night, Sunday and public-holiday periods are higher — they are on this table.
What about night, Sunday or Christmas extras?
Flintshire County Council publishes extra tariff periods (evening, weekend, public holiday). They are separate columns on this page — not a surprise booking fee unless the council table says so. Ask which tariff is running before you sit down.

No. Flintshire County Council sets one hackney maximum. Glannau Dyfrdwy is Dee-side industrial — Shotton, Deeside, docks — not a holiday harbour. The table is the same.
