By Taxi

Hackney carriage vehicles can pick up from taxi ranks and can be flagged down in the street. These are painted Bristol Blue and will have an illuminated light on the roof and display white and red licence plates with black printing on the front and back of the vehicle which display details of the vehicle and the expiry date.

There are 19 taxi ranks in Bristol City Centre.

Private hire vehicles have to be pre-booked and cannot be flagged down in the street. It is illegal for a private hire vehicle to take a journey which has not been pre-booked or to accept a fare by being hailed. They should display yellow and red licence plates with black printing on the front and back of the vehicle.

As well as UBER and Bolt, some private Bristol taxi companies include AA Taxis and Veezu.
