The London Taxicard Scheme provides subsidised transport in taxis and private hire vehicles (minicabs) for people with serious mobility or visual impairments who find it very difficult or impossible to use mainstream public transport such as buses and tubes. The scheme is managed by London Councils and is jointly funded by Ealing Council and Transport for London. New and renewal applications are handled centrally by London Councils. Ealing Council is no longer issuing Taxicards for the borough.
If you are eligible, you can use your Taxicard to make journeys in licensed London taxis and private hire vehicles. It can be used when shopping, visiting friends or doctors’ appointments. While you can use your Taxicard at any day or time, it is subject to taxi availability.
You can request an application form by phone, e-mail, post or by downloading the application form from the London council website.
To find out which application form you need, check the borough map and follow the instructions for Ealing borough. All completed applications must be sent back to London Councils.
