Question

I am going to go to Chicago with two members in october. By the way, this is my first time to go to Chicago. so I don't know well.

Please tell me how to calculate taxi fare about 3members including me.

1. how much should I pay per mile?

2. how much is the base rate?

Answer 1

You can use http://www.worldtaximeter.com/chicago

It's an on-line taxi fare calculator, where you can write your origin and destination, and it will give you an estimate of the time and price of the trip.

Answer 2

All of the above is correct, but since April/2008, there is also an EXTRA $1.00 charged for the high cost of gas. The $1.00 is manually added to the meter by the driver, so if you're not familiar with the city ordinance, you'd think the guy is cheating.

Answer 3

Another on-line web site for you.

Also, In Chicago, you pay the amount shown on the taximeter, plus any tolls,

There is no extra charge for baggage or credit card use, and tipping is optional,

The ¡°flag pull¡± or initial charge is $2.25 for the first 1/9 mile,

The additional fraction of a mile charge is $.20 for each additional 1/9 mile,

Every 36 seconds of time elapsed is $.20,

The flat fee for the first additional passenger is $1.00,

The flat fee for each additional passenger, after the first additional passenger is $.50.
