Taxi & Private Hire Licences

This page offers information and application forms on the various taxi / private hire licences that are available such as running an office which takes bookings for taxis / private hire cars, a driver's licence for a taxi / private hire or if you want to use your own car as a taxi / private hire car.

Booking Office licences

A Booking Office licence is required for the use of premises for the carrying on of a business which consists of:

• taking bookings, by means of communication, from members of the public for the hire of a vehicle which is a licensed taxi or private hire car.

Premises are exempt from a Booking Office licence if the number of vehicles in respect of which bookings are taken does not exceed three at any time.

You can apply for a Taxi/Private Hire Car Booking Office licence using the link at the bottom of the page.

Wheelchair-accessible vehicles

The Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles (Disabled Persons) Act 2022 makes sure disabled persons can use taxis and private hire vehicles with confidence and without discrimination.

Below is a list of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles across Fife. This should make it easier to plan your journey.
