Hackney Carriage and private hire licensing fees

The council sets fees to cover the cost of its taxi-licensing regime.

We aim to set fees to cover our costs and in doing so are mindful of the impact any increase has on the trade. Fees are reviewed every year and changes in processes are taken into account.

Please note - Credit will not be given for any unexpired period of vehicle or drivers licences if the licence is surrendered


Runnymede Borough Council
