    Everything changed when Coronavirus hit, including how we travelled when we could move again after lockdown and shelter in place instructions were lifted. But there is still regularly updated guidance to slow the spread of new variants. So even if you have received the requisite vaccine dosage, following the latest advice will help keep you safe when on the move. These health measures should still be adhered to even when travelling by taxi or another private hire vehicle.

    We have compiled a list below to help you protect yourself and others when you travel via taxi to airports or around town.

    Face Coverings

    COVID-19 is spread via airborne droplets and aerosols, so wearing a mask or face covering reduces any risk you may pose to others. Face coverings are compulsory in all public transport, including taxis for your safety and others for drivers and passengers unless you have an exemption.

    Face coverings are essential when inside vehicles and when passing through indoor transport hubs, including:

    • All public transport vehicles, including aircraft, trains, buses, ferries, and taxis.
    • Transport hubs include airports, railway stations and terminals, maritime ports, and bus stations.

    Ventilate

    Ventilation is critical when travelling safely in an enclosed space. Where possible, it’s necessary to keep windows open in a vehicle to let in the fresh air and force out droplets that could contaminate others. Also, if you need to sneeze or cough, cover your mouth and nose with the inside of your elbow or use a tissue.

    Sanitise Regularly

    Sanitise your hands before you get in your vehicle, or ask your Taxi driver for sanitiser when you get in. Be aware of the surfaces you touch, and be cautious not to touch your face after touching anything else. When you finish your journey and can access facilities, wash your hands thoroughly for at least twenty seconds or, once again, sanitise your hands.

    Keep Up To Date With Guidance

    Before travelling anywhere, be sure to check on any new government guidance to stay safe.

    Listen to your Driver

    Your driver looks after multiple passengers a day, so it’s best to follow it if they give advice. They want to get you safely to your destination while enjoying a safe working environment – after all, their vehicle is their office. Perhaps they will ask you to sit in a particular space or use their sanitiser with the window down. As far as is possible and safe, listen to the driver. If you have special requirements, it’s always advisable to speak to the taxi company before your journey to ensure the correct vehicle and driver is sent to accommodate your specific needs.
