Service & Account
We provide taxi booking services through our Website and dedicated mobile apps on Android and iOS platforms. Our licensed drivers, following thorough background checks, offer reliable and secure transportation.
You can book a taxi for yourself or others, choosing from our fleet of standard, 6-seater, and 8-seater vehicles.
Soiling & Damage: If a vehicle is soiled or damaged by a passenger during a journey, a cleaning or repair charge of up to £100 will apply. This charge may be collected by the driver at the end of the journey, invoiced via email to the contact details provided at the time of booking, or requested as a cash payment. We reserve the right to take the vehicle out of service until it is fit for use, and we will not be liable for any losses arising from this.
Passenger Conduct: Passengers are expected to behave in a safe and respectful manner at all times. The following rules apply during all journeys:
- Seatbelts must be worn at all times where fitted
- Smoking, vaping, and the consumption of alcohol or food are not permitted in any vehicle
- Abusive, threatening, or offensive behaviour towards driversmay result in the journey being ended.
- Passengers must not distract the driver while the vehicle is in motion
- Any damage caused to the vehicle by a passenger will be subject to a charge (see Soiling & Damage clause above)
We reserve the right to terminate a journey immediately if passenger conduct endangers the driver or the safety of the vehicle, without refund.
Age Restriction: Passengers under 16 may use our services, but a booking must be made by a parent, guardian, or other responsible adult who accepts full responsibility for the journey. We may refuse unaccompanied travel for any passenger under 16 if we consider it unsafe or unsuitable.
Sub-contracting: On occasion, we may fulfil a booking using a licensed third-party private hire driver or operator where our own vehicles are unavailable. We verify that all partner drivers hold valid insurance, driving licences, and private hire licences before using their services. We remain responsible to you for the service provided under your booking..
When you place your first booking with Leo Taxis, an account is automatically created for you using the details you provide — your name, contact number, and email address. Your Customer ID and password will be sent to you in your booking confirmation email.
You can use these credentials to log in to your customer portal at app.farebookings.com/client to view your bookings, manage upcoming journeys, and update your details.
You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential. If you believe your account has been accessed without your authorisation, please contact us immediately at [email protected] or call +44 182 392 4403.
Booking
You may book a taxi through our website or mobile apps by providing your pick-up and drop-off locations, time, date, number of passengers, and details of any luggage. Please ensure all information provided is accurate and complete when making a booking.
All bookings are subject to review and confirmation by Leo Taxis. Once your booking is accepted, a driver will be assigned and you will receive confirmation of your booking. We reserve the right to cancel your booking if the information provided is found to be inaccurate or incomplete.
At Leo Taxis, we are committed to providing exceptional service. However, there are occasions when we may need to cancel a booking. These instances include, but are not limited to:
- Service Unavailability — If we cannot provide a taxi due to operational reasons.
- Safety Concerns — If continuing with the booking could compromise the safety of our drivers or passengers.
- Outside Area of Coverage — If the requested journey is beyond the geographical limits we serve.
- Out-of-Area Pick-Up and Destination — For bookings where the pick-up location is more than 3 miles from Taunton Town Centre (TA1 4AJ), an extra charge may apply to cover empty miles. If additional charges are not agreed by the customer, we reserve the right to cancel.
- Incomplete Booking Details — If the information provided at the time of booking is incomplete or insufficient to fulfil the service.
- Unreasonable Delays by Passenger — If the passenger is not present at the agreed pick-up time and location after a reasonable waiting period.
- Abusive or Inappropriate Behaviour — If the passenger or any member of their party behaves in a threatening, abusive, or inappropriate manner towards the driver or staff.
- Unlawful or Unsafe Requests — If the passenger requests the driver to break the law or undertake unsafe driving practices.
- Vehicle Unavailability Beyond Our Control — For example, severe weather, road closures, or vehicle breakdowns.
- Failure to Pay or Payment Issues — If payment is not received or is declined prior to the journey.
- Incorrect or Fraudulent Information — If the booking is found to be made with false, misleading, or fraudulent information.
- Excessive Luggage or Passenger Numbers — If the number of passengers or amount of luggage exceeds the vehicle's legal or safe capacity.
- Special Requirements Not Disclosed — If special requirements (such as child seats, wheelchair access, or pets) are not disclosed at the time of booking and cannot be accommodated.
- Suspected Illegal Activity — If there is reasonable suspicion that the service is being used for illegal purposes.
- Repeat Cancellations or No-Shows — If the customer has a history of repeated cancellations or failing to show up for bookings.
Should we have to cancel for any of these reasons, we will inform you promptly and provide a full refund.
