This page offers information and application forms on the various taxi / private hire licences that are available such as running an office which takes bookings for taxis / private hire cars, a driver's licence for a taxi / private hire or if you want to use your own car as a taxi / private hire car.
Booking office licences
A Booking Office licence is required for the use of premises for the carrying on of a business which consists of:
- taking bookings, by means of communication, from members of the public for the hire of a vehicle which is a licensed taxi or private hire car.
Premises are exempt from a Booking Office licence if the number of vehicles in respect of which bookings are taken does not exceed three at any time.
You can apply for a Taxi/Private Hire Car Booking Office licence using the link at the bottom of the page.

The Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles (Disabled Persons) Act 2022 makes sure disabled persons can use taxis and private hire vehicles with confidence and without discrimination.
