Minicabs
Minicabs, unlike Black Cabs cannot be
hailed on sight, they are usually ordinary saloon cars which
are licensed. Minicabs do not have a standardised fare structure
and they must be booked over the phone, you only pay from
where you are picked up though. It is best to get a quote
over the phone or from the driver at the start of your journey
to ensure that you don't pay over the odds.
Minicabs are often cheaper than Black Cabs, but it is best
to avoid those illegally touting for business in the streets
as they are often unlicensed, untrained, uninsured, unreliable,
and occasionally dangerous. Trustworthy firms are out there
and a recommendation is by far the best way learn about them.
Women should avoid traveling alone at night and make sure
they sit in the back or ask for a female driver as most reputable
firms have them on their books. One firm that only uses women
drivers is Lady Cabs (+44) 020 7272 3300 / (+44) 020 7923
7599.
