Taxi ranks

Designated taxi ranks can be found in Colchester City Centre. These can only be used by Colchester City Council Hackney Carriages (Taxis).

Only Colchester licensed Hackney Carriages (Taxis) can use the ranks in Colchester.

There are three designated Hackney Carriage (Taxi) ranks in Colchester city centre:

Head Street 4/6 vehicles Outside the former Debenhams building (opposite the Odeon cinema)
Queen Street (between 6pm and 6am only) (check hours). 2 vehicles Outside Colchester City Church/Priory Walk

There are also private ranks at Colchester Railway Station (North Station) on both the north and south side of the station. To use these ranks Hackney Carriage drivers must have a permit from the landowner.
