English term or phrase: gypsy cab
Wie kan mij helpen met het Nederlandse equivalent van "gypsy cab" (as opposed to the yellow cabs)? Ik heb wel een definitie gevonden en die luidt als volgt: "A taxicab that is licensed only to respond to calls but often cruises the streets for passengers."

Alvast bedankt!

privé-taxi


Explanation:
Ik vond de definitie: A cab that cannot be flagged down on the street is known as a private hire vehicle (in North America, a gypsy cab).

Privé-taxi zou een optie kunnen zijn.
