How does PickMeUp work?
PickMeUp is an on-demand minibus service. It will pick you up from a ‘virtual bus stop’ within a short walkable distance of where you are. The intelligent software works out the best way to take you and our other passengers to their chosen destinations. Simply register your credit or debit card, or pay via PayPal and we’ll be with you in around 10 minutes. You can think of it like a car-pool, only bigger – and you never have to drive yourself! It’s cheaper than a taxi and comes whenever you want it.

When does it operate?
Service operates on weekdays from 06:00 hrs until 23:00 hrs daily, from 08:30 hrs until 19:30 hrs Saturday, and from 08:30 hrs until 19:00 on Sundays. (Bank holidays will operate to Sunday service hours).

How long will I wait?
On average, PickMeUp will come to you in around 10 minutes* and you'll always get an accurate estimate of your pick-up ETA before booking. You can also track your PickMeUp minibus in real- time using the app.

*Expected average wait time is around 10 minutes.

How many passengers will I share a car with?
We’re accepting group bookings of up to 17 seated passengers, or 22 including five standing passengers! Our minibuses can comfortably accommodate up to 22 people.

How much will it cost me?
PickMeUp offers a flat fare, so you’ll always know the price before you decide to ride (unlike a taxi that can become unexpectedly expensive, for example when you’re stuck in traffic, or having to make a detour). We show you the cost of your journey up front so you’ll never have any surprises.
