Am I able to book a child seat?
Yes, you can request a child seat when making your booking.
Please note: Not all Cab Providers will have child seats available, as UK law does not require taxis or minicabs to provide them. If you require a child seat, you must contact the Cab Provider directly once your booking has been confirmed to check whether they can accommodate your request.
What else do I need to be aware of?
Under UK law:
- Children under 3 years old can travel in the rear seats of a minicab without a child seat or seatbelt.
- Children aged 3 and over can travel without a child car seat, provided they wear an adult seatbelt.

I've requested a child seat. What do I do next?
Once your booking has been confirmed, you must contact the Cab Provider directly to check whether they can fulfil your child seat request.
Child seats are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.
Can I be charged extra for a child seat?
Yes.
Child seats are not included in the fare price and may incur an additional charge. Any fees relating to a child seat must be agreed and settled directly with the Cab Provider.
What if the Cab Provider does not have a child seat?
If the Cab Provider is unable to supply a child seat, we can try to find an alternative provider for you.
- If your booking is within the next 12 hours: please contact us via Live Chat using the link at the bottom right of the screen.
- If your booking is more than 12 hours away: please email info@minicabit.com and include your booking reference number. A member of our team will be in touch.
Please note that an additional fee for a child seat may still apply with an alternative provider.
