Taxi & Transport Scams in Blackpool

Unlicensed Taxi Overcharge

Unlicensed minicab drivers tout for business outside Blackpool North train station and at the Pleasure Beach after closing time, quoting fares that appear reasonable but are unmetered. Fares are revised upward mid-journey or on arrival, and passengers who refuse to pay the new amount face confrontation. Vehicles lack official Blackpool Council taxi plates on the rear.
