It can be dangerous to use a private hire vehicle that has not been booked. The driver is not acting under the control of their operator and may be bogus.
Private hire saloon vehicles can carry 4 passengers and people carriers can take up to 8 passengers. The licence plate will state how many passengers that vehicle can carry.
Slough Borough Council does not set the fares for private hire vehicles. The fares are calculated by the operator. It is advisable to agree the fare with the operator/driver before you start the journey.
