Getting home safely

Only use licensed taxis
Cardiff Council-licensed Hackney carriages are black with a white bonnet/roof light and a visible council plate. Never get into an unlicensed or unmarked car.
No cash, no problem
Cardiff taxis have had to accept card payment since September 2024, so you don't need to carry cash on you.
Share your trip
Send a mate your taxi details or live location, especially late at night — it takes ten seconds.
