New Government legislation is set to put a huge demand on Gloucester Taxi Services from January 2008.

This will soon be noticed by the general public who try to book a Taxi, particularly in rush hour times on school days. We predict it will get increasingly difficult to book a Taxi between the hours of 7.30 – 9.00am and 2.30 – 4.00pm through out Gloucestershire, as more and more drivers will accept the guaranteed security and income that a School run offers the self employed Taxi driver.

From January 2008, new government legislation will stop unlicensed vehicles from carrying out school runs for Gloucestershire County Council directly, or through sub-contractors. Starting on the 1^st January 2008, all vehicles contracted to take children to or from schools will have to be a fully licensed vehicle (Taxi, Private Hire or PSV Vehicle) which can only be driven by fully licensed Taxi, Private Hire or PSV drivers.
