Can I book an 8-seater taxi from Rhu?

Yes. 8-seater vehicles are available as pre-booked private hire for airport runs, ferry connections, group travel and distance journeys from Rhu. Local 8-seater jobs inside the area carry a 100% private-hire uplift on the licensed-taxi tariff because 8-seaters can't be operated as licensed taxis under Argyll & Bute rules — distance 8-seater hires are quoted separately at a fixed fare.
