Taxi Driver Training

Taxi Driver Training from Sandwell Automatic Driving School

There are 2 types of taxi driver; Hackney Carriage and Private Hire, both are licensed by local councils.

Hackney Carriage or Black Cab drivers must use one of the black cab type vehicles.

Private Hire drivers use regular cars, but councils will put some criteria as to which vehicles they deem as suitable.

There are various licensing differences between Black Cab and Private Hire, but one of the most significant differences is:

• A Black Cab can be hailed in the street without prebooking
• A Private Hire Car can only be prebooked

Different local councils set different qualifying criteria to become a taxi driver, Sandwell Automatic Driving School can help with driver training to prepare for the practical taxi driving test
