Hackney Carriage Vehicles are required to be licensed to ensure they are suitable for use by the public.

Hackney Carriage Vehicles sit on taxi ranks and can also be hailed in the street.

A Hackney Carriage Vehicle uses a taxi meter to calculate the correct fare, in accordance with the prescribed Table of Fares for Hackney carriage Vehicles (see Table of Fares).  The driver can charge you what price is shown on the meter or under, but never a price over the one stated on the taxi meter at the end of your journey.
