natdan73 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Has anybody had any experience of arranging for a taxi to offsite accommodation? If so, where is the best pick up point?

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yeah, I got a taxi last year to Castle Cary station, from the rank near gate A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasto-worker Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Any near Gate D? We are off site as well every night so getting a taxi would be good but not sure if there's a rank or you need to call them to come... I would doubt they would want them driving in and out of a parking area so unless things change it would be - Steanbow layby A361. 2014 council map showing taxi pick up point http://www.mendip.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=7520&p=0 Edited March 30, 2015 by glasto-worker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migraine Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 The apple tree pub is near to gate d, you might be able to pre-book something to pick you up from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natdan73 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I have seen posts on here before where people have said that they have managed to get a taxi from Steanbow layby which looks as if it is a short walk from Gate 'A'. Obviously what I do not know is whether taxis turn up there 'on spec' or whether you need to book to get one to pick you up? My first year off site after 10 years in tent / campervan / caravan so it will be interesting to see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmb1992 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I would suggest trying to pre-book with some specific times, my only experience of taxis in the area was from the Pilton Party last year, we were staying a few miles away and it was a bloody nightmare to get a taxi!

phil the shrew Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Taxi rank is just on the other side of the main road as you leave the coach park outside gate A. Last year I got the coach in and out and there were plenty of taxis there - not sure if they just waited hoping to get a fare or were pre booked Depending where you are heading to the coaches go hourly to Shepton mallet and Glastonbury town so might be an option to Edited March 30, 2015 by phil the shrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewUnion Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Depending where you are heading too the coaches go hourly to Shepton mallet and Glastonbury town so might be an option to I used that bus service myself last year. Pretty good way to do it I think. Once you are in Shepton I think there would be a better chance of getting a cab to wherever you need to go. All that being said I have no experience getting a cab from site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
