Ashurst Taxi & Private Hire
Request a private hire journey from Ashurst New Forest station, a village address on the A35, the campsite or Colbury. King Taxi covers Ashurst from Brockenhurst by advance booking and confirms the written quote before the journey is accepted.
Advance booking and availability
Ashurst journeys are scheduled from our Brockenhurst base, so a station meet or an early departure needs notice. Send the train or flight time with the request and we will confirm whether a driver can cover it.

Campsite and attraction trips
Runs between the campsite, the Wildlife Park at Longdown, Lyndhurst and the surrounding villages.
Airport and hospital journeys
Southampton Airport is one of the shortest transfers on our books from here; hospital and city runs are equally routine.
The station with the forest in its name
Ashurst New Forest station drops visitors straight onto the forest edge, but only some services stop there — many trains run through to Southampton or Brockenhurst instead. Check the stopping pattern before you build a plan around it, and send us the actual service time: a meet at Ashurst and a meet at Brockenhurst are different journeys with different margins.
The station approach and the A35 frontage are quick for a driver to find; the campsite and the lanes behind the village are not. For anything off the main road, add the pitch number, property name or a clear landmark to the booking.
Between Totton and Lyndhurst, close to the airport
Ashurst sits on the A35 with Totton's shops and services one way and Lyndhurst the other, and much of our work here is exactly that shuttle — appointments, meals, school runs and connections that are awkward without a car but short with one. These are pre-booked journeys with a written fare, however small the trip looks.
For flying, Ashurst is one of the best-placed villages in the forest: Southampton Airport is roughly twenty minutes via the A35 and M271 in normal conditions. Heathrow and Gatwick pick up the M27 within minutes. Include luggage and passenger numbers so the quote names the right vehicle, and book early flights well ahead.
