Taxis and private rentals: District Council of Horsham

Licenses are available for private taxi and car rental in the Horsham District. Our staff checks all our chauffeurs and ensures that all our cars are kept in good condition, mechanical, insurance and safety. Rental cars, also known as mini cabs, must be reserved in advance and must not be known. A private hire car is not allowed to be driven by a private hire car to collect a passenger if a phone reservation has not been made.

In contrast to cabs, private rental cars do not have to be tied to the fares fixed by the Council. Also known as Hackney Carriage, a cab can be taken from a cab stand or called on the road. Car must be painted clear and bear a rooftop mark. Pricing on the meter is the maximal amount a rider can calculate, but the rider can ask less.

When taking a cab or a private rental please look for the license plates on the back of the vehicles with the driver's identity card. Taken together, this is a guarantee that the vessel and the operator are duly licenced and entitled to transport the general public. 3.
