Are your drivers licensed London taxi drivers with criminal background checks?

All of our drivers are Licensed London Taxi drivers who have completed “the knowledge” and who are licensed by TFL (Transport for London).

Each driver has been fully vetted with enhanced DBS checks. (DBS is The Disclosure and Barring Service, the department of the Home Office responsible for criminal background checks.)
