Private Hire Operators Licence
Where a vehicle is pre-booked over the telephone or by attending the office of an operator, this is a private hire booking.
Private Hire Operators are required to:
- Ensure that only licensed drivers and vehicles are used for your journey
- Keep records of their drivers and vehicles
- Record details of the bookings that are made through them.
Carlisle City Council has no control over the fares charged by private hire operators and drivers. Whilst most use the current taxi fare tariff and may even have meters fitted, it may be worthwhile to agree the charging structure before the journey is made.
Carlisle City Council sets the licence fees for licences, permits and registrations to cover administration, inspection and enforcement costs.
The charges are included in our Table of fees.
