By Taxi
In Belfast taxis
operate from ‘taxi ranks’ and do not stop when hailed. One of the
main taxi ranks in Belfast city centre is in front of City Hall.
There are two types of Belfast taxi; one is the world famous black
taxi style and the second type are normal saloon cars but they bear
the name of the taxi company on the car roof. All taxis display a
yellow disc on the car windscreen. By law, all taxis in Belfast are
required to display coloured licence plates. Please ensure that you
always take a taxi that displays a coloured plate. Black taxis
display yellow plates and private taxis have a green licence plate
displayed. Take to the streets in style! Why not book a Value Cab
taxi to your hotel or guesthouse door?

Like all cities in the world when taking a taxi trip first plan
your route. The best way is to get a good map of Belfast city
streets (there is an excellent map available free of charge from
the Belfast Welcome Centre) and its attractions, and find out where
you want to go and see. If you’re venturing for sightseeing and
shopping in Belfast, make note of how far you are from each place
you want to visit. Many of the attractions including art galleries
as well as historical and listed buildings are easily accessible on
foot. Make note of which attractions are serviced by Translink and
the Belfast Metro.
And if you’re arriving at Belfast International Airport or the
George Best Belfast City Airport, why not plan beforehand. Check
online for taxi rates from the Airports to your destination, and
shop around! There will be plenty of taxis awaiting you at the
airports in the ranks – so simply ask how much it will cost to
get to your destination and whether the service is metered. Try to
know the location and road where your accommodation is as well as
the public transport options servicing the area. For taxis that do
not operate a meter, ask for the approximate cost to your
destination.~
