The age old saying of ‘Cheap and cheerful’ isn’t always true. Yes, in some instances it is. Yet when it comes to the safety of yourself and those around you paying a fraction more is important. Over the last couple of months there has been a noticeable increase in the number of illegal, unlicensed road side taxi services.
To start, they will offer very low rates. At first they may seem like a great deal at first, but once you look in to why they’re cheap, the idea of a good deal slowly disappears. The reason these companies can market their prices low will be that they do not pay VAT, they are not paying for suitable insurance and licenses. These licenses/insurance are created to protect you in any instance of an accident, theft etc. For what may be percieved as a ‘good price’ you are stepping into an uninsured and potentially dangerous vehicle.
Another factor to look out for is valid insurance, indemnity and company vehicle licenses. All taxi drivers are required to display driver documents as a condition of their license. You are entitled to ask to see these. If you witness a driver not displaying documents, displaying the wrong identifiers or you suspect that they are fake, you can report this to TFL by following this link. https://tfl.gov.uk/forms/12368.aspx
