West Dunbartonshire taxi fares and licensing

Current hackney taxi tariff

• Dumbarton and Vale of Leven: The council June 2026 review notice describes existing £4.00 daytime and £5.20 night minimum fares, which conflict with the older £3.00/£3.60 figures previously shown here. Those old figures have been withdrawn.
• Review status: The notice proposed retaining the scale from 13 August 2026 and invited representations. Its incomplete extracted table is not treated as a complete final fare card. Obtain the operative zone-specific card from Licensing.
• Clydebank: Older complete cards and later review proposals are insufficient to confirm the current consolidated scale. Current figures remain withheld; do not apply the Dumbarton/Vale scale to Clydebank.
• Calculator: No automatic estimate is enabled for these separate zones.
