Only Chorley-licensed hackney carriages are permitted to pick up passengers directly from the street or without a pre-booking.
We limit the number of hackney carriage licences we will grant and also regulate the maximum fare which can be charged for journeys within the district. View hackney carriage table of fares (PDF) [27KB].
We will only license vehicles with a Euro Emissions 5 Star or higher rating and an NCAP Safety rating of 4 or higher. All existing vehicles have to comply with these standards by 1 January 2024. Hackney carriages must be white in colour unless they are Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles.
