I am taking my grandson to Islay for 2 days in June. I haven't decided on a car rental and am wondering if anyone knows about the taxi service or getting a driver for the time there? Edie Ferguson

Hello Eddie D & N MacKenzie took good care of me when I ran their rental into a ditch. OOPS. Watch those soft shoulders.

...and learn the rules for driving on single track roads with passing places! I ended up in a ditch last year after trying to squeeze by a Mundell's truck. Eternal thanks to a local farmer who hitched a chain from his Landrover to my tow bar, and pulled me out.

Hello Edie On this web page you will find a list of taxi companies on Islay: http://www.islayinfo.com/travel.html#public I am not sure where they are all based, but the telephone numbers give a bit of a clue. If they start with 30 they are in the Port Ellen area, 81 for Bowmore area and 85 for Port Charlotte / Bruichladdich. I haven't been over for a while, but when I was last over, Islay Taxis based in Port Charlotte also employed a driver based in Caolila, but he may have retired since then. I think most of the taxi companies cater for either single journeys or for hires for longer periods. I believe that car hire company D & N MacKenzie, who have been in business now for almost 90 years, is based at Glenegedale, next to the airport. There are bus services on the island. You can find the timetables on the Argyll & Bute Council website at: https://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk/isle-islay-portnahavenport-askaig-bowmore-port-ellen-ardbeg The timetables need to be read with care as there are different sets for school days and non-schooldays.
