In Cambridge there are other issues, like admission to restricted city
centre areas. So probably not an issue in East Cambs.
The City cab trade never fails to point out there are more
out-of-area vehicles than City ones on the streets. I'm not sure
whether that's not merely an artefact of Panther (fleet ~500) being
based at a cheaper site near Waterbeach, just outside the City limits.
That's an artifice of Hire Car licensing law. They can benefit from slacker
regulation in South Cambs with the same operational rights in any area.
Panther has offices inside and outside the city.
Of course, despite being north of the City, that's in South Cambs!
East Cambs doesn't start until the A10 crosses the Great Ouse, north
[yes, I know!] of Chittering.
You're looking in the wrong direction. Going east from Cambridge you only
have to get to between Stow-cum-Quy and Lode to enter East Cambridgeshire.
