Important — Hackney Borough vs Hackney Carriage

Frequently Asked Questions — Hackney Taxi Service

Is this a black-cab "hackney carriage" service or a private hire taxi?

add

Stansted Airport Taxi is a TfL-licensed private hire operator (PHV), not a hailable hackney carriage. Black cabs (hackney carriages) can be hailed and use meters; our service is pre-book only with fixed fares agreed before travel. Both are regulated London taxi categories.

Yes. We operate 24/7 and handle late-night pickups from Dalston, London Fields and Hackney Wick. Pre-book at least 30 minutes before peak weekend times to secure an MPV or 8-seater. Fixed fares apply to all pre-booked night hires.

Are child seats and accessible vehicles available?

add

Yes. Child seats and wheelchair-accessible vehicles are available by request. State child age or accessibility needs during booking so we can allocate the correct vehicle and confirm in your email.
