West Midlands · licence fees
What it costs to licence yourself, your vehicle and an operator with Coventry. Every figure is taken from the council's own published schedule, never from trade press or an estimate.
Charges Coventry lists separately from the licence fee itself. Budget for these as well.
Only what this council states. A blank here means they do not publish it, not that it is free, and there may be other charges besides. Check the official schedule before you budget.
Taken from coventry.gov.uk. Checked 8 Aug 2026 (Appendix A approved by Licensing and Regulatory Committee 12 Mar 2024, in force 1 Apr 2024 and still the latest fee decision. Coventry publishes no fees on its taxi web pages). 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 Coventry will accept: Any GMC-registered doctor.
The ages it repeats at, the form they want and the council’s own source are on the Coventry taxi driver medical page.
1,080 licensed drivers, 809 licensed vehicles and 41 licensed operators, from the Department for Transport's 2024 figures (taxi and PHV statistics, table TAXI0113).
Every figure here is taken from coventry.gov.uk and checked by hand.
