I wouldn't get into an unmarked/unlicensed vehicle under any circumstances.
It happens a lot in London. As you're coming out of nightclubs in the early hours you get approached by guys asking if you want a taxi, but their vehicles are unmarked and unlicensed, they haven't been subjected to any police checks or anything.
It's just not safe.
99 per cent of the time you might be okay, but I don't want to risk that 1 per cent.
Even licensed cabs aren't totally safe. Getting into a vehicle with a stranger can never be. But I reckon licensed taxis are 99.99 per cent safe compared to the others.
