JTDA Rules of Hire.
It is illegal for a child under the age of three to travel in a taxi without a proper, designated child seat. New types of Taxis such as the TX1s have in-built child seats in the middle of the reverse of the cabs. It is also possible if the parents prefer or there is more than one child, for a child to sit on the parents lap providing the parent is seated in the back of the cab, facing the rear.
The consumption of food or drink is prohibited in Taxis, the driver will politely ask you to keep takeaway food wrapped up or in some cases may ask you to put the food into the luggage compartment as takeaways can leave an odour in the vehicle and there is always a risk of accidents.
The driver has the right to refuse or continue on a journey if a passenger or passengers are too intoxicated, if their behaviour becomes unruly or aggressive or if they use foul and abusive language.
Do not damage or foul the interior of any Taxi as you may end up facing a hefty bill for repair or cleaning afterwards.
If you are not feeling well please ask the driver to stop the vehicle as soon as possible.
Taxi drivers cannot take anymore passengers than the Taxi licence permits, please do not try to squeeze extra passengers in as the driver will refuse to go anywhere while his vehicle is over loaded.
The driver can refuse to take over sized cases or luggage, if one piece of luggage weighs more than 30 kilos or there are too many cases or bags to fit safely in the vehicle's trunk.
The driver can refuse a passenger's request to go down a dirt track or across a muddy field if he thinks that by doing so the vehicle may get stuck or damaged.
It is advisable to always ask the Taxi driver for a receipt in case of any complaints or queries you may have on a Taxi fare as it can only be dealt with if a receipt exists.
Also get the drivers PSV badge number he should have it displayed, if not ask to see it and take down his number and name.
Any complaint regarding a licensed Taxicab driver or the vehicle should be made to:
