The lanes in are narrow and village parking is limited. - [Fowey](https://thecornishcab.co.uk/areas/fowey): Fowey sits on the estuary east of St Austell.

Send the journey on WhatsApp to 07708 067775 from the booking page. A booking is not confirmed until The Cornish Cab checks availability. ### How many passengers can you take? Maximum three passengers. There is one driver and one vehicle. ### Do you run during the school run? Bookings are taken outside school-run times. Weekend and school-holiday bookings are available. The exact window on a school day is confirmed when you call — this site does not publish a clock time the old listing did not state. ### How is the fare worked out? From the live road route, then confirmed before you travel. The route checker on this site can show distance and driving time. That figure is not a price and not a confirmed booking. ### Do you do airports and stations? Yes. Airport transfers and train station transfers are part of the work, and pre-booking is recommended, especially for airports and longer journeys. Newquay, Exeter and Bristol are the airports people usually mean. St Austell and Par are the local stations. ### Is my online request a confirmed booking? No. The driver checks the time manually before anything is confirmed. Until you have that confirmation, the trip is only a request. ### Do you publish a street address, email or vehicle registration? No. The public details are the name, the base in St Austell, Cornwall, and the phone number 07708 067775. Ask anything else when you call. ### Can you guarantee a child seat, card payment or a wheelchair vehicle? Those details are not published. This is one ordinary vehicle with a maximum of three passengers. Ask when you book rather than assuming. ## Pages - [Home](https://thecornishcab.co.uk/): overview - [Book](https://thecornishcab.co.uk/book): road-route guide and booking request - [Services](https://thecornishcab.co.uk/services) - [Airport transfers](https://thecornishcab.co.uk/airport-transfers) - [Train stations](https://thecornishcab.co.uk/train-stations) - [Areas](https://thecornishcab.co.uk/areas) - [FAQ](https://thecornishcab.co.uk/faq) - [About](https://thecornishcab.co.uk/about) Updated: 2026-10-08
