About Autocab

Staffordshire’s trusted private hire authority.

With over three decades of heritage, a fleet of 450 vehicles, and offices rooted in Longton, we connect local communities safely and efficiently every single day.

Our Journey: Over 30 Years of Service

Founded in Stoke-on-Trent, Autocab Private Hire has grown from a local cab firm into a regional private hire operator. For over 30 years, we have provided dependable transport across Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, and the surrounding Staffordshire Moorlands.

Unlike national app-only firms with no roots in the community, Autocab is a fully licensed local operator. Our office is in Longton, Normacot Road (ST3 1PL), with a staffed 24/7 dispatch control room. We employ local staff, support local drivers, and invest directly back into the Staffordshire economy.

The Magnum Relationship

Autocab operates as a sister company to Magnum. While Magnum has an energetic, app-led focus, Autocab is shaped around clear booking, fixed pricing, licensed drivers, and dependable airport travel.
