What is the difference between a private hire taxi and a hackney carriage? Our resident doctor and taxi medical expert has the answer:

  1. A Hackney carriage is more commonly known as a taxi. A hackney carriage is permitted to stand at a taxi rank or it can be hailed on the street or location that they are licensed to operate in. A licensed hackney carriage can undertake pre-booked journeys and do not need to work through a private hire operator.
  2. A private hire vehicle can only complete work that has been booked through a licensed private hire operator. The operator must be licensed by the same authority that licenses the vehicle who is fulfilling the job. A private hire taxi cannot stand on the street or be flagged down.
