Prices & payment

How is my price worked out?

Local journeys use the council’s official taxi fares. We show an estimate when you book; the taxi meter decides the final fare. Out-of-borough and airport trips have a fixed price agreed when you book.

Will I be charged twice?

No. We place a temporary hold on your card when you book and charge only the meter fare (or fixed price) at the end. The rest of the hold is released. See How payment works.

Are there booking fees or surge pricing?

No booking fees, no card fees and no surge pricing – ever.

Your trip

Are the drivers licensed?

Yes. Every driver is a council-licensed hackney carriage driver, and we check their licences and vehicle documents every day.

Can I book an airport taxi?

Yes – choose Airport on the booking box. You get a fixed price and a suggested pickup time based on your flight.
