Taxi & private hire licence fees in Eden

What it costs to licence yourself, your vehicle and an operator with Eden. Every figure is taken from the council's own published schedule, never from trade press or an estimate.

Driver licence

Not published. Eden District Council was abolished in 2023 and the licensing authority is now Westmorland and Furness Council, which has not merged the three legacy fee schedules - and unlike the retained Barrow and South Lakeland pages, the retained eden.gov.uk licensing pages carry no taxi fee schedule at all. Ring Licensing on 01768 212273 or email Admin.Licensing@westmorlandandfurness.gov.uk for the current figures
