East Dorset Zone - apply for a taxi or private hire vehicle licence
Vehicle licences are usually granted for 1 year, driver licences for 3 years and operator licences for 5 years.
Licensed operators can only operate vehicles and drivers that are licensed in the same zone, for example an East Dorset Zone operator may only operate vehicles/drivers who are also registered in the East Dorset Zone.
Before you start

Taxi fares
The council sets the maximum fares that taxis are able to charge. View the taxi fares chart.
If you make a booking with a private hire company you should agree the fare before the booking is confirmed as the council does not set these fares.
