This site is an independent, informational guide about taxis, private hire and taximeters, with a focus on Cannock Chase and Staffordshire. It is a reference guide. It is not a taxi firm, a licensing body, a workshop or a supplier of equipment, and it does not take bookings or give quotes.
Independence and the name
This web address was used in the past by a different organisation, and similar names have been used by other businesses. This guide is not any of them. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any business that previously used the domain, or to any company with a similar name, and nothing here should be read as coming from them. If you are looking for a specific company, its own website is the place to go.
What we publish
The guides explain licensing rules, fares, meters, passenger rights, vehicle standards and complaints in plain English. They draw on published legislation, Department for Transport guidance and the public licensing policy of Cannock Chase District Council, and they link to those sources where it helps. Where a council's rule is quoted as an example, the page says so, because every licensing authority sets its own conditions.
What you should know before relying on it
- The content is general information, not legal, financial or licensing advice.
- Rules, fares, fees and policies change. Always verify details with the licensing authority, the operator or the official source before acting.
- Prices are never offered by this site. Where costs are mentioned, they are described in general terms, and you should confirm current figures with the provider.
- We do not rate or recommend individual drivers or firms, and we do not publish their contact details.
- Complaints about a driver or vehicle belong with the licensing authority that issued the plate, not with this site.
