Technology & Compliance

Everything you need to manage ground transport at scale

Omni-Channel Booking

Book a taxi instantly via our web app, mobile apps, WhatsApp automation or direct API. Every channel shares the same real-time pricing engine and verified driver pool — no surprises, no double-handling.

Rigorous Driver Vetting

Every driver on our network holds a valid private hire or hackney licence, enhanced DBS clearance and full public liability insurance. Licence expiry, vehicle MOT and insurance are monitored automatically — not just at onboarding.

Intelligent Dispatch Engine

Live traffic data, dynamic zone logic and proactive flight-status feeds ensure the nearest suitable driver reaches your passenger on time — even at peak hours or during disruption.

Finance-Ready Billing

Consolidated monthly invoices, stored corporate payment cards, per-trip receipts and policy-based approval workflows eliminate manual admin for your travel and finance teams.

Why Licensed Taxi

The UK's most trusted way to book a licensed taxi

Since launching in Southampton, Licensed Taxi has grown into one of the UK's fastest-expanding private hire networks — connecting passengers with fully council-licensed, DBS-checked drivers in seconds. Whether you need an airport transfer from Heathrow, a corporate taxi account for your business, or a quick minicab near you right now, our platform delivers the same upfront price, live tracking and 24/7 support every time.

Unlike app-based competitors, we never apply surge pricing. Your fare is agreed at the point of booking — so whether it's rush hour on a Friday or 3 am on a bank holiday, the price you see is the price you pay.

Comfort guaranteed

Late-model vehicles, professional uniformed drivers and genuine meet & greet care make every journey feel intentional.

Convenience everywhere

Book instantly via WhatsApp, schedule ahead on the web, or plug into our API. All bookings synchronise with live tracking.

Secure payments & privacy

PCI DSS card processing, encrypted rider data and audited workflows keep compliance teams satisfied.

Fixed fares, no surprises

Your price is confirmed at booking — not at drop-off. No surge pricing, no hidden fees, no rounding up. What you see is exactly what you pay.

Fully Licensed Drivers, Every Ride

We work only with council-licensed private hire operators. Our own onboarding layer adds document verification, vehicle inspections and regular compliance audits — so standards stay consistent whether the pickup is in London or Leeds.
