As the proprietor of a trusted and safe taxi service I'm in a position to offer some tips that you can use to any taxi ride you'd like to undertake for any business.

Always choose an authorized taxi/minicab or pre-booked operator

Canterbury Cabs can be hailed on the street. In London the black cabs are evident, but you must ensure that they are equipped with an official Hackney carriage licence on the back which is up-to-date and matches the number of the vehicle plate. It also is illuminated with a taxi sign over the top. In the same way, verify for other Hackney carriages to ensure that they have a valid rear plate.

Always make sure you use licensed minicabs. Minicabs or pre-booked cars shouldn't be hailed on the streets. They must be booked via telephone or in person at the office of the operator. The driver must have an ID , and the vehicle must display a license on the vehicle. Minicabs who pick up taxis on the street without pre-booking are therefore illegal, unsafe and risky.

If you are booking a South East London Taxi, request the name of the driver as well as the model and color of the vehicle which will pick you up. Check the details of the driver upon arrival - is it the vehicle you booked? Are they familiar with who you are i.e. the person who is collecting from?

Be sure to trust your guts. If you're at all concerned and want to make the driver slow down in a busy area and leave the vehicle.
