Hackney Carriage Vehicle Licences

Hackney carriages are the vehicles that are found at taxi ranks and the railway station. Hackney carriage vehicle licences are issued to vehicles once the vehicles have passed a compliance test. The licence allows the vehicle to be used for plying for hire. Hackney Carriage drivers must hold licences; for more information see Hackney Carriage Drivers' Licences.
