Who we are

Setting the standard in taxi recognition.

Taxirater recognises and celebrates the taxi and private-hire companies that deliver outstanding passenger experiences across the UK. Our awards are built on clear, consistent evaluation criteria across every category.

๐Ÿ”

Rigorous review

Every nominee is assessed against a structured, multi-point evaluation before any award is given.

๐Ÿ“‹

Clear criteria

A transparent, published scoring method so every company is judged fairly on the same basis.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

UK-wide

We consider operators across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Merit-based

Awards are earned, never bought. There is no fee to be nominated or to win.

A note on transparency: Taxirater is operated by Rushxo Ltd, a UK private-hire booking agent. Rushxo is one of the companies considered in these awards and is judged against exactly the same published criteria as every other operator. No company can pay for placement or to win.
