In a Feb. 18 notice, the city listed five companies currently permitted to operate: Co-op Taxi, Kings Cabs, Lloyd Taxi, Taxi FilCanadian and Yellow Cabs.
Three companies — Border Taxi, Courtesy Cabs and Viper Taxi — are not permitted to operate within Lloydminster following the refusal of a Taxi Broker Application.
The city said the Taxi Broker Application for 2026–2029 was denied due to non-compliance with municipal, provincial and federal legislation. As a result, the companies are not authorized to operate within Lloydminster or participate in the Seniors Taxi Program.
Residents, including participants in the Seniors Taxi Program, are encouraged to confirm they are booking with authorized providers when arranging transportation.
Through municipal bylaw, the city oversees and approves taxi operators, vehicles and taxi brokers operating within municipal boundaries. The approval process includes criminal record checks, driver abstracts and general investigations to ensure compliance with bylaws and to reduce public safety risks.
More information about licensed taxi services is available at Lloydminster.ca/Taxi.
