Uber booking-office licence approved in Fife

Source-backed briefing checked 23 September 2026.

Uber Scot Ltd has been granted a booking-office licence at Rosyth Business Centre in Fife following a special council licensing meeting on 22 September.

What changed

STV, reporting from the meeting, says 431 objections had been lodged. The council was advised that none could be considered because they did not meet the required signature rules, and the application was approved.

Why it matters

This is a local taxi and private-hire market development for Fife. It is not a national licensing change and does not alter rules for drivers elsewhere in the UK.

Practical check: Fife drivers and operators should follow Fife Council and Uber for operational launch details and licensing conditions rather than relying on social-media summaries.
