- Taxi tariff
- Official route/source found
Tariff content checked 23 October 2026. The current table gives £3.50 for the first ordinary daytime mile or £4 overnight, then £2 for each subsequent whole mile or uncompleted part. Waiting is 30p per minute or part. Festive text says an extra 50%, but the printed £5 festive initial fare does not equal that uplift of either ordinary flag. Existing ordinary calculator estimates retain their scope; the conflicting festive scale remains excluded and legal commencement is unprinted.
- Mandatory qualifications
- Official route/source found
Knowledge test, full UK licence held 12 months, right-to-work evidence, enhanced DBS/update service, DVLA Group 2 medical and safeguarding/CSE training are required.
