Licensing: All cars are registered with the local Horsham District Council under licence No 031. Before drivers are issued with their individual Private Hire or Hackney Carriage Licence they have to pass a Knowledge test of the local area and are also checked by the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) for any criminal activities which could make them unsuitable to be a Taxi Driver. As a company policy they also have to pass a knowledge test to insure that they have a reasonable knowledge of London and a general knowledge of the English countryside. Since 2008 drivers are now studying for either BTec or NVQ in Passenger Road Transport. To date two have passed both and all others are in the process of acquiring them. |
Mechanical Standards & Insurance: All cars have two mechanical checks a year, carried out to set government standards by an approved test centre and are insured fully comprehensive. |
