Taxi Advertising FAQs
Find answers to the most common questions about London taxi advertising.
Taxi Advertising Basics
What is taxi advertising?
Taxi advertising places your brand on London black cabs as they travel the city. Your message reaches people on the street, in traffic and around shops and offices, turning every cab into a moving advert for your business.
How does London taxi advertising work?
You choose a format and campaign length, then approve your artwork. We design, print and wrap the cabs, manage the campaign and capture content, so your brand goes live across London with everything handled for you.
Why do brands choose taxi advertising in London?
London black cabs are a trusted city icon, so your brand earns instant recognition and credibility when it rides alongside them. Taxi advertising also keeps moving through the busiest parts of the city, which means high frequency visibility that static formats rarely match.
Is taxi advertising effective for building brand awareness?
Yes. A moving cab repeats your message across thousands of journeys, and repeated exposure is what helps people recognise, remember and trust a brand. This makes taxi advertising a strong choice for brand awareness in London.
Formats and Options
What taxi advertising formats are available?
We offer full livery wraps, superside wraps, tip seat adverts inside the cab and rear window displays. Each format suits different goals and budgets, and we help you choose the right mix for your campaign.
What is a full taxi wrap?
A full livery wrap covers the entire body of the black cab in your branding. It is our most visible format and a strong choice for brands that want maximum presence and standout across London.
What is a superside taxi advert?
A superside is a large panel that runs along the side of the cab. It is a cost effective way to gain consistent street presence and works well for brands that want strong reach across a wider fleet.
What are tip seat adverts?
Tip seat adverts sit inside the cab and reach passengers during their journey. They work well for direct messages and QR codes that invite people to take action while they ride.
Which taxi advertising format is right for my brand?
The best format depends on your goal, your budget and the impression you want to make. Full wraps suit bold launches and premium positioning, supersides suit broad reach, and tip seats suit engaging passengers directly. We talk through your goals and recommend the right option.
Cost and Pricing
How much does London taxi advertising cost?
London taxi advertising cost depends on the format you choose, the number of cabs and how long your campaign runs. We offer options from short PR launches to year long brand campaigns, and we send tailored pricing once we understand your goals.
Is taxi advertising good value compared with other formats?
Taxi advertising delivers a high number of impressions for the spend because each cab works all day across busy routes. For many brands this makes it strong value next to static billboards or crowded digital placements.
Do you offer short campaigns and long campaigns?
Yes. You can run a one week PR launch, a multi month awareness campaign or anything in between. We help you choose a length that matches your goals and budget.

Targeting, Reach and Results
How many people will see my taxi advert?
A five taxi fleet delivers over 20 million impressions a year, with around 400,000 impressions per taxi each month. Your brand travels the busiest routes across London zones 1 and 2, day and night.
Can I target specific areas of London?
Yes. We hand pick drivers who regularly work your chosen zones, so your campaign reaches the right audience. Brands often focus on areas like Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Soho, the City and the West End.
Can taxi advertising reach tourists as well as locals?
Yes. London black cabs travel through major hubs and landmarks, so your brand reaches both residents and the millions of visitors who pass through the city each year.
How is taxi advertising measured?
We share impression estimates based on fleet size and routes, and you receive content from your campaign that shows your brand on the road. This gives you a clear picture of reach and a set of assets you can use across your own channels.
Does taxi advertising work for both large and small brands?
Yes. We work with global names and growing businesses alike, and we tailor the fleet size and format to suit each brand. Taxi advertising in London scales to fit the goals and budget you have.
The Process and Campaign Management
What does the taxi advertising process look like?
First we plan your campaign and recommend the best options. Then you approve the design, and we print and wrap the cabs. Your campaign goes live in London and we capture content for you to use.
How long does it take to launch a campaign?
Timelines depend on the format and fleet size, and we plan around your launch date from the start. Once your artwork is approved, we move quickly through print and wrapping so your cabs are ready on time.
Do you handle the design and artwork?
Our team manages design and approval with you, and you sign off the final artwork before anything goes live. If you have your own creative, we prepare it for the cab so it looks its best on the road.
Who manages the campaign once it is live?
We do. From the moment your cabs hit the road, our team manages the campaign and keeps you updated, so you can focus on your business while your brand travels London.
Content, PR and Social
Do I get content from my taxi advertising campaign?
Yes. We capture photo and video of your branded cab that you can use across social media and your own marketing. This turns your campaign into content that keeps working long after the shoot
What is a PR day?
A PR day is a dedicated session where we capture your branded taxi in iconic London settings. It gives you standout content for launches, press and social, and helps your campaign make a strong first impression.
Can taxi advertising support a product launch?
Yes. A full wrap and a PR day create a bold, visible moment that suits launches well. Many brands use taxi advertising to announce a new product across London and to fuel their social channels at the same time.
