About us

A trusted name in the Borders for years

Dods Taxis has been moving people around the Scottish Borders for decades. From early morning airport runs to gentle hospital trips, we treat every passenger like a neighbour — because most of them are.

Built on care, kept by community

Our story

What started as a small local taxi service in Galashiels has grown into a trusted, multi-vehicle operation covering Galashiels, Melrose, St Boswells, Selkirk and well beyond. The promise hasn’t changed: be on time, drive carefully, and look after the people in the back.


We’re proud to support older passengers and people with limited mobility — many of our regulars rely on us for hospital appointments, family visits and weekly errands. Our wheelchair-accessible vehicles and trained drivers make every journey calm and dignified.


Local businesses choose us for company accounts and corporate transfers, while visitors trust us for stress-free airport runs to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle and Manchester.
