Scotland · licence fees
What it costs to licence yourself, your vehicle and an operator with Edinburgh. Every figure is taken from the council's own published schedule, never from trade press or an estimate.
Taken from edinburgh.gov.uk. Checked 31 Jul 2026 (2026/27 schedule, dated 01.04.26). 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 Edinburgh will accept: The council does it themselves.
The ages it repeats at, the form they want and the council’s own source are on the Edinburgh taxi driver medical page.
Every figure here is taken from edinburgh.gov.uk and checked by hand.
