What to know
Wrexham County Borough Council licenses hackney carriages in Wrexham. The council has not published a full yard-by-yard tariff sheet online. The solid figure we show is the two-mile Tariff 1 total (£5.60) from the Wales league table of taxi tariffs (Powys council document, April 2026). Band rows below are an estimate scaled to that total until the council publishes a full table.
If you pre-book a minicab, that is private hire — licensed, but not a council meter table. Agree the price when you book.
Hackney vs private hire
