Do taxis take women in labour?

I have heard so much conflicting info about this and never even realised it could be an issue until someone brought it up.
Neither me or OH drive and have no family who lives near us.
We have friends who may be able to help at short notice but it would not be guaranteed.
Should we not be able to get a lift to the hospital, how do we approach it with the taxi company? Promise to pay for any mess made? Just not say anything?
Do we call for an ambulance? I wouldn't want to have to do if I can get there another way.
Genuinely considering a home birth to get around this. I know if I had to be admitted that transport would be arranged.

You're massively over thinking it. Just order an Uber and off you go. If you're leaking sit on towel.
