There are several taxi services in Brussels: station taxis (classic taxis), street taxis (formerly limousines / LVC), ceremonial taxis and collective taxis (which are both station taxis and street taxis). A distinction is made between booked and unbooked journeys.
Station taxis must be black and have a black and mango yellow chequered stripe on all four doors with two Iris symbolising the Brussels-Capital Region. Station taxis have a light on their roof called a sputnik with a black and mango yellow chequered pattern.
Street taxis do not have a specific visual identity. Under no circumstances can they be visually confused with the visual identity imposed on taxi ranks.
Ceremonial taxis are vehicles assigned to a ceremonial taxi service (by reservation).
All Brussels taxis will have a numbe plate bearing the letters TX. However, some TL plates may still exist for some time.

The driver is obliged to give you the ticket from the printer (not a handwritten ticket) for your journey when you have finished. This ticket includes the taxi number, the fare and a whole range of useful information in the event of a complaint or lost property.
Les chèques-taxis d'une valeur de 5 euros chacun vous sont offerts sous certaines conditions par la Région bruxelloise. Ils vous permettent de vous déplacer facilement en taxi dans le périmètre de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale ou au départ de celle-ci.
Les chèques-taxis sont utilisables dans tous les taxis bruxellois. Ils sont l’équivalent de l’argent liquide. Si nécessaire, le chauffeur vous rendra donc la monnaie. Par exemple, si votre course taxi coûte 13 euros, vous pourrez payer le chauffeur au moyen de 3 chèques-taxis de 5 euros et il vous rendra alors 2 euros en monnaie.
