What is the difference between taxi, private hire, and chauffeur services?

Upvote:8

Chauffeur: may only be supplied to customers of the heliport.

Taxi: licenced, can ply for trade (you can hail at the roadside).

Private hire: licenced for pre-booked journeys only (but you can book by phone and be picked up as soon as a car can reach you).

For what it's worth, Uber falls in the last category.
