The first three have dispatch offices around the town centre, but can also be summoned to any point in Warrington by telephone, though on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday nights, expect to wait for a taxi unless it's pre-booked. Also, company operated cars cannot be hailed due to Warrington by-laws. There are cabs that can be hailed on the streets, these are not stereotypical cabs, but have a taxi light on top, though, if possible, avoid hailing a cab as the fares are significantly higher than dispatched taxis.Taxis are usually available at stands at Bank Quay Station, Central Station or the Bus Interchange.

By car

Driving around Warrington is fairly easy outside the rush hours 8-9 am, 5-6 pm. There are car parks in the town centre,with the largest being at Golden Square Shopping Centre, with others at the Market and Cockhedge, and the Riverside Retail Park open after 9.30 and the only free car park in Warrington. However, if traffic is diverted through the town owing to problems on the nearby motorways, "gridlock" can result.
