There are over 700 Licensed Taxis and Private Cars in Dundee.  The majority of vehicles are saloon cars which are licensed to carry 4 passengers. There are over 200 wheelchair accessible taxis which can carry a maximum of 8 passengers. Stretched limos are licensed as Private Hire Cars.

Taxis can pick up passengers in the street whilst Private Hire Cards must be prebooked.

Tayside Police are consulted in all applications and applicants for Taxi Driver Licences need to pass a Knowledge Test.

All vehicles are tested to high standard.

Applications are considered by the Licensing Committee which meets monthly, with the exception of August, when the Council is in recess.

Please note that the application forms currently available on this page are for new applications only.
