ABOUT US
Radio Taxis (Southampton) Ltd was originally the idea of 12 Southampton Hackney Carriage owners who decided to try and improve the level of service in the town of Southampton back in 1972. After a short time many other taxi owners became interested in the idea and an association was formed called Radio Taxis. The association was formed with a total number of 29 Southampton Licensed Taxis.
The association operated successfully for twelve years building a good reputation for our quality of service. Therefore because of its success the association was then dissolved and the company of Radio Taxis (Southampton) Limited was registered in November 1984.
The limited company is currently owned by 39 shareholders and along with a large number of contracted self-employed owner drivers. The current fleet consists of 36 Hackney Carriage and 364 Private Hire Vehicles making a total of 400 vehicles. This allows Radio Taxis to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
