Taxi Lost Property

Contact the driver or the taxi company directly if you you booked through:

  • a dispatch operator
  • Free Now
  • Lynk
If the driver can’t find it:

Contact the nearest garda station. They usually drop lost items there. Dublin taxi services will drop your item into one of these designated garda stations:

When to contact them?

Contact them as soon as possible. Check again in another week if it hasn’t been handed in yet.

Details to have ready:
  • The licence number of the taxi you were in – this is shown on your receipt.
  • Proof of identity

If the item has not been handed in when you first make the enquiry, it may be worthwhile to ask again a week or so later, as the driver might not hand the item in immediately after it has been found.

The Gardaí will ask you for proof of identity before handing over any property.

An Garda Síochána is responsible for lost property handed in by Small Public Service Vehicles (SPSV) operators. When property is handed in, it is held for a minimum of 31 days up to 366 days at the discretion of An Garda Síochána depending on the nature or value of the item, to allow the owner to reclaim it.
