Taxis - Lost Property

Report property lost in a Basildon registered taxi or private hire vehicle

At the end of every journey the driver of a licensed vehicle should search their car to make sure that the passenger has left nothing behind.
If property is found the driver should take it to the Basildon Council Offices within 72 hours where it will be held by the Licensing Office.
If lost property is not claimed at the end of three months, it will be returned to the driver who found it.
Provided you have reported your lost property, you will be notified if it is handed in to Basildon Council.
On claiming your lost property, you will be liable to pay a small percentage of the value of the property, or the fare for the driver's journey to the offices; whichever is the greater.
