Licence - Hackney Carriage (Taxi): Outline
A Hackney Carriage Licence is issued to the proprietor/owner of a vehicle. It permits a vehicle to use taxi ranks where available, and ply for hire.
Hackney Carriage and Private Hire vehicles can only be driven by appropriately licensed drivers. Dual licences can be obtained which allow drivers to drive both hackney carriage and private hire vehicles.
Applicants are only granted a licence if the Council is satisfied that they are 'fit and proper' persons. Checks are made via an enhanced Criminal Records Bureau disclosure, Group 2 medical, and driving licence.
