Rather than a taxi company, the Southampton Hackney Association (SHA) is a group of taxi drivers who have got together to support one another and liaise with the licensing body at Southampton City Council.

 

We receive many emails and telephone calls from people who have left their property in taxis in Southampton. However, we at the SHA are unfortunately unable to help to track down lost property, as each taxi driver in the city works for himself -  Remember, we are not a taxi company and sadly have no way of liaising with each and every taxi driver in the city (many of whom are not members of the SHA).

 

The surest way to protect your belongings when travelling in a taxi is to make sure you have everything with you as you leave the cab. For instance, check your pockets and bag for your phone, purse or wallet, to ensure they haven't fallen out during the journey. Check you have your cardigan, coat and umbrella, your laptop and bags.
