Type of taxi (7)
I believe the answer is:
minicab
'type of taxi' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for minicab that I've seen before include "Metered vehicle for hire" , "It can't be hailed in the street" , "Type of car hire" , "Hired vehicle" , "Car used as taxi" .)
