Private hire vehicles must be pre-booked through a
private hire operator and cannot be flagged down or hailed in the
street.
Failure to book in advance may lead to the driver, the vehicle and
the passengers being uninsured in relation to any accident.
Private hire vehicles cannot be hailed or flagged down under any
circumstances.
They can carry up to four passengers although some can take more
such as people carriers.
We do not control private hire charges but it is a condition that
the fare table or chart is displayed in the vehicle for public
view.
The fares are based on mileage and are calculated by the operator
and you should agree the fare with the operator when booking the
vehicle.
All drivers are licensed and their vehicles have undergone and
passed stringent tests for roadworthiness.
If you are unfortunate enough to have cause for complaint about
a licence holder, you may choose to take up your complaint with the
driver directly.
Alternatively, take note of their name, badge number, vehicle
plate number and/or vehicle registration number and contact our
Licensing Team on 01934 634
