Taxicabs

The City of Alexandria regulates taxicabs operating in the city. Meter rates charged by taxicabs are set by the Alexandria City Council, and are contained in 9-12-132 of the Alexandria City Code. All taxicabs and taxicab drivers must be licensed by the City of Alexandria. The City’s Hack Inspector, an officer in the Alexandria Police Department, is responsible for addressing the licensing of drivers and inspection of taxicabs as well as addressing concerns about all taxicab violations.
