Taxi Fares and Terms & Conditions
Fares are kept as competitive as possible. Please telephone or email for an accurate quote. Taxi fares are set by Wiltshire Council. All drivers have Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Certificates which are checked by the Council as part of the licencing process.
Did you know that all private hire, chauffeur limousines and hackney cabs have to be licenced by the Council and a licenced driver to accept payment for transporting you? When payment exchanges hands this type of service is classed as 'hire and reward.' All licenced vehicles have to undergo enhanced MOT's and comply with other regulations as detailed by Wiltshire Council.
If you use your own vehicle to transport people for payment unlicenced this is illegal and you could find your vehicle being classed as having no insurance cover.
Unfortunately hire and reward insurance is becoming increasingly expensive to purchase and some insurance companies will tell you that even if you pay someone to drive your car, this also counts as hire and reward. If in doubt, double check. A genuine licenced driver and company will be more than happy to show you their Council issued licences and insurance. All drivers carry a photographic identification badge that has to be renewed annually (expiry dates are on the licence) and which should be available for customers to view at all times. See www.wiltshire.gov.uk for more details.
Aldbourne Taxis are Hackney licenced in Wiltshire. This means we can accept bookings from anywhere by telephoning 0797 705 9991. However, we can only be hailed (flagged down) to pick people up in the street within the area of East Wiltshire.
Please ensure you receive confirmation we have received and accepted your booking via email. For bookings less than 72 hours we recommend that you telephone us.
Due to the high volume of late cancellations customers are likely to be asked to provide a deposit or pay the fare in full before we confirm a booking with them. Any deposit or full fare paid will be non refundable if the taxi is cancelled 7 days or less from date of travel. Where a deposit has not been paid and a taxi is cancelled less than 24 hours before the booked pick up time, a cancellation fee of £25 (or actual fare if sum is less) for a booked single journey or £35 (or actual fare if sum is less) for a booked return journey shall be payable.
If we agree to issue an Invoice for payment on completion of a journey, our terms are strictly 48 hours.
