Taxi drivers’ licence cost faces substantial hike



TAXI drivers in Ceredigion are facing substantial inc­reases in the cost of their licences.

The decision by council Cabinet members to inc­rease the costs came after a proposal to almost double the cost of a dual-driver lic­ence.

Previously an application for a dual-driver licence, which lasts for one year, cost £145.

But under the new suggestions that would increase to £278 for a yearly licence, with a three-year licence costing £323.

The cost for a Hackney carriage licence has increased slightly from £191 to £196, with the cost of renewals actually goi­ng down from £191 to £149.

A licence for a new private hire vehicle will now cost £159, compared to the previous fee of £145, although a renewal would cost £144 compared to the previous fee of £145.

There will be new three and five-year licences for private hire operators which would cost £296 and £378 respectively, although a three-year renewal for a private hire operator will increase from £205 to £274, and a five-year renewal for a private hire operator will cost £344.

Scrutiny committee members had said they were happy with the increases, and Cabinet members said they were also prepared to back the new fees.
