With less than a week before Christmas, plenty of people are enjoying nights out in the city celebrating the festive season with work colleagues, friends and family. However unfortunately, caught up in the festivities and after a few Christmas drinks, not everyone takes sufficient care ensuring they are getting a safe trip home when the evening is over.

The safest way to get home after your Christmas night out is in a white Hackney Carriage taxi which you can easily recognise by the white taxi sign on the roof and red license plate on the back of the vehicle.

Hackney Carriage taxi drivers are licensed, regulated and CRB checked by Southampton City Council. They are also the only type of taxi that you can hail from the road as opposed to private hire vehicles which can only pick you up if you have a booking.

At the end of the night, be confident in the knowledge that you are getting a safe ride home - hail a white Hackney Carriage taxi or find us at one of the many taxi ranks located throughout the city.
