Any taxi drivers out there?

Question

5.9 mile journey, how much would that be about? it's in stoke-on-trent if that makes a difference

Answer 1

Hi. a taxi with a top light has to charge whats on the meter by law from A2B. a private hire can charge you anything? even charge you to pick you up say 10 mile away and then you travel 5.9 mile they are allowed to charge you for the total journey ie 15.9 mile? thats how it works in norfolk. its best to phone round to a private hire firm and get a price.-x also make sure the driver who picks you up is wareing their ID badge and has a white plate or yellow plate on the car with the ID no.( norfolk )
