Terms of Use

What TaxiPass is

TaxiPass is a study companion for the Irish Small Public Service Vehicle (SPSV) Driver Entry Test. It is independent: it is not the official test and is not run by or connected to the National Transport Authority (NTA), An Garda Síochána or the Revenue Commissioners. Fees, rules and procedures change — always check the official sources before you book or pay.

Important notice

TaxiPass provides education and information about the SPSV (taxi, hackney and limousine) licence process in Ireland. It is not connected to the National Transport Authority (NTA), An Garda Síochána or any other official body. The information is general guidance, not official or legal advice. Requirements and procedures change: before any important step, check with the NTA or the relevant official body. Official information always takes priority. In short: TaxiPass guides you; the official bodies set the rules and requirements.

Our questions

Every question and explanation is written by us from Irish law (including the Taxi Regulation Act 2013 and the SPSV regulations) and from public map data. They are not copied from the official test. You may use them for your own study; please do not copy, publish or resell them.

Official sources

Accuracy and responsibility

TaxiPass is a study aid. It is not legal advice and not an official source. We write it from Irish law and public data and review it regularly, but we cannot guarantee that every question, fee, date or place name is complete, correct or up to date. Always check with the NTA or another official source before you book, pay or act.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect loss caused by errors or omissions, and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid for TaxiPass in the 12 months before your claim. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud, or limits any right you have under Irish or EU consumer law.

If you find a mistake, please tell us using the contact below and we will correct it.
