London Taxicard scheme

Richmond Council participates in the London Taxicard scheme. This scheme allows permanent residents of the borough who have a permanent disability and meet the eligibility criteria to travel in licenced taxis at a subsidised rate.

Currently taxicard holders in Richmond pay a flat fare of £1.50 plus any amount shown on the meter above £11.80.

The scheme uses Computer Cab to supply the taxis, once you are a member you can make use of the service by:

• Making a telephone booking
• Hailing a computer cab in the street, or from a rank
• Making an online booking

If you want to use the online booking service go to www.computercab.co.uk

Online booking also allows you to track your taxi progress online.
