What Is a Taxi Medical?
A taxi medical is a health assessment required by local councils to confirm you’re medically fit to hold a taxi or private hire licence.
Who Needs a Taxi Medical?
Taxi and private hire drivers applying for a new licence or renewing an existing one are required to complete a medical assessment.
How Much Does a Taxi Medical Cost?
Our standard taxi medical is £50. If your local council requires a full review of your GP medical records, the appointment time is longer and the cost may increase.

What Taxi Drivers Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still drive if I fail the taxi medical?
If your taxi licence has expired, you cannot continue driving until your council approves your medical and renews your licence. If your licence is still valid, your council will advise whether you may continue driving during their review.
