What is a London Minicab Service?

A minicab is a licensed private hire vehicle that you book ahead of time, unlike black cabs that you can flag down on the street. Minicabs in London are regulated by Transport for London (TfL), and every driver needs a valid Private Hire (PCO) license to operate.

Key Differences Between Minicabs and Black Cabs:

Minicabs:

• Must be pre-booked (online, phone, or app)
• Fixed pricing agreed before travel
• Usually more affordable
• Wide range of vehicle types available

Black Cabs:

• Can be hailed on the street
• Metered pricing (can vary with traffic)
• Generally more expensive
• Traditional London taxi experience

At Cheetah Cars, you get the best of both worlds: the reliability and professionalism of traditional service with the convenience and affordability of modern private hire.
