Hackney Carriages mainly work from Surrey Heath public ranks only. The public can flag them down on the street when the driver is plying for hire. They can also be pre-booked.

Private Hire vehicles are only available by prior booking and through a private hire operator's office. They are not allowed on 'taxi' ranks and cannot be used to ply for hire. Members of the public cannot flag them down.

Taxi Safety

There are four easy ways to check you are getting into a licensed taxi:

• Does the vehicle have an illuminated light that is clearly visible - either on top of the taxi or inside the vehicle?
• Is there a local authority licence plate displayed on the rear of the vehicle?
• Is there a current licence number displayed inside the taxi on the windscreen?
• Does the driver have a current local authority identity badge?
