What to know
## Llandudno taxi fares
Llandudno is the planned Victorian resort between two Ormes — Conwy taxi table; pier, promenade and cable car, not Conwy’s walled harbour.
## Getting around by taxi
Llandudno is well served for a North Wales resort, with several firms operating 24/7. Sun Valley Taxis (01492 354901) and Llandudno Taxis / King Kabs (01492 878156) are the two most-quoted local names; Interlink Taxis (01492 860033) is a longer-standing operator often used for airport runs to Manchester. All firms operate under Conwy CBC's maximum rate — at £7.60 per 2 miles, you'll pay more for a taxi here than anywhere else in Wales, so short hops across town add up quickly. A ride from the town centre to the top of the Great Orme road or out to West Shore costs around £6–8.
There is no official taxi rank at the train station; cabs typically queue on Vaughan Street near the promenade. During the summer season and after events at Venue Cymru, waiting times on the rank can stretch to 20–30 minutes. Pre-booking on a weekend evening is strongly advised, and some drivers still prefer cash, so keep £10–20 handy.
Llandudno taxi drivers double as tour guides for some visitors — several firms, including Llandudno Taxis, offer prebooked half-day tours to Snowdonia, Conwy Castle, and the Llyn Peninsula, so it's worth asking if you want a flexible explore without hiring a car.
