Vehicles for Hire
Current Conditions
The Bureau of Taxicabs and Vehicles for Hire is a component of the Atlanta Police Department. The Bureau enforces the Vehicle for Hire Ordinance to ensure safe, courteous and professional service for the visitors to the City, as well as for our citizens. The operation of the Bureau consists of three distinct but interdependent functions. They are:
- Licensing and permitting of the industry's companies, vehicles, and drivers.
- Enforcement of City ordinances governing vehicles for hire service delivery.
- Providing a liaison between providers of services and users.
The Bureau issues permits and routinely inspects the taxicabs and horse-drawn carriages for compliance with City ordinances regarding inspections, insurance, and operator permit validity.
