As a licensed Hackney Carriage, we operate under the strictest rules in the industry — so you never have to worry about your safety or your fare.
Southampton City Council licenses just 283 Hackney Carriages in the entire city. This is not a regular taxi — it's a rare, strictly regulated public vehicle held to the highest standard.
Our vehicle has cameras installed and monitored directly by Southampton City Council. Every journey is recorded for your protection and peace of mind.
Every Hackney Carriage driver is fully DBS (criminal record) checked — and our records are updated live in real time. Our safety status is never out of date.
Our meter is tested and certified by Southampton City Council. The fare you see on the meter is the fare approved by law — no surprises, no surge pricing.
We operate a dedicated driver group to report and return lost items. If you accidentally leave something in the cab, we work together to get it back to you.
Our vehicle condition, cleanliness, and roadworthiness are regularly inspected by the Council and maintained exclusively by Council-approved dealers.
Driver appearance and uniform are regulated by Southampton City Council, ensuring a consistently professional experience every time you ride with us.
We operate from official, government-designated taxi ranks across Southampton — making us easy to find and always in the right place.
We hold special government-issued permits to collect passengers directly from Southampton's cruise terminals — a privilege only a handful of licensed cabs are granted.
Southampton is one of Britain's busiest cruise ports. We hold special permits to meet you right at the terminal — no long walks, no confusion.

Cruise visitors and airport travellers share their experience
"Booked via WhatsApp the night before our cruise departure — driver was there waiting at the terminal, helped with all our luggage and got us to Heathrow with plenty of time to spare. Professional, clean car, very friendly. Will book again on our next visit to England."
"We'd never been to the UK before and were nervous about transport from the port. The driver met us right at the dock gate, explained everything about the route to London, and even recommended places to visit. Fixed price agreed on WhatsApp — no surprises at all. Excellent service."
"Hired TaxiCity for an airport run to Gatwick. Punctual, polite, and the car was spotless. Liked that they are a licensed Hackney Carriage — felt much safer knowing the driver is properly vetted by the council. Highly recommend to any fellow Americans arriving at Southampton docks."
"Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We messaged on WhatsApp, got the price straight away, and the driver arrived early. The car was immaculate and the driver was knowledgeable and friendly. A completely stress-free way to start our UK holiday."
"Used TaxiCity for a transfer to Heathrow after our transatlantic cruise. Driver was on time, very professional, and knew exactly which terminal we needed. Knowing it's a council-licensed cab with CCTV gave us real peace of mind. The price was agreed upfront — no meter anxiety!"
"Second time using TaxiCity and once again brilliant. Friendly driver, comfortable Mercedes, exactly on time at the cruise terminal. The lost & found service is a nice touch too — our friend left a jacket and it was returned the same day. Real community feel to this service."
