Booking Office Licensing

Booking offices that accept bookings for four or more licensed taxis or private hire cars must by law be licensed by the local licensing authority.

For each booking the booking office is required as a condition of licence to:

• maintain a record of the registration number of the vehicle hired
• record the name of the driver
• ensure the vehicle and its driver are licensed appropriately under sections 10 and 13 respectively of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982.
