Our Story

90 YEARS OF SERVING BRIGHTON & HOVE

LOCALLY LICENSED, DRIVER-OWNED, AND COMMUNITY-MINDED SINCE 1936.

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE?

Transparent pricing, always. Every vehicle in our fleet is licensed by Brighton & Hove City Council - one of the highest standards licensing authorities in the country.

That means rigorous knowledge tests, strict safety requirements, and thorough safeguarding checks for every driver and vehicle.

And because our drivers own the business, you’re always in safe hands - and they genuinely care about the ride they give you.

our roots

Our story began in 1936; Brighton taxi drivers decided to form their own company. Hove followed, and in 2009 the two co-operatives merged to form the largest taxi company in the city.

Today we’re still driver-owned, run by people who know every hill, alleyway, late-night kebab shop and venue in the city!

Our People & Fleet

Our drivers come from all over the world, and they’ve made Brighton & Hove their home. To get behind the wheel on our fleet, they must first pass the city’s famously tough licensing, knowledge and safeguarding tests. So, whether you’re heading to a late-night set, grabbing an early train, or moving through Brighton's buzzing streets at any hour of the day or night, you’re in safe hands with Streamline.


Inclusion is more than a buzzword for us. We’ve developed our own in-house course, training drivers to provide safe, respectful transport for people with all kinds of disabilities, both visible and non-visible.

Our fleet includes:

  • Wheelchair-accessible vehicles

  • Multi-seaters for families and airport trips.

  • Comfortable, easy-access saloon cars.

our COMMUNITY HEART

Our commitment to Brighton & Hove goes beyond transport. Over the years, our drivers and staff have raised thousands of pounds for local charities - especially the local hospice, The Martlets.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we launched ‘Cabs for Jabs’, helping raise funds to provide free travel to vaccination centres for those who needed it most.

We’re proud to be part of this city. Our ethos is simple: everyone is welcome, and everyone is equal. That’s why we also prioritise local suppliers wherever possible- supporting the community and reducing our environmental impact.
