East of England · licence fees
What it costs to licence yourself, your vehicle and an operator with Colchester. Every figure is taken from the council's own published schedule, never from trade press or an estimate.
Taken from colchester.gov.uk. Checked 1 Aug 2026. Fees change, so confirm with the council before you budget around them. Drivers spot changes before I do, so if something here is wrong please say and I'll check it against the council and fix it.
Who Colchester will accept: The council does not say.
The ages it repeats at, the form they want and the council’s own source are on the Colchester taxi driver medical page.
616 licensed drivers, 571 licensed vehicles and 80 licensed operators, from the Department for Transport's 2024 figures (taxi and PHV statistics, table TAXI0113).
Every figure here is taken from colchester.gov.uk and checked by hand.
