Calculate your taxi fare using the official London tariff rates, valid since April 20, 2024
Taxis are an important part of local public transport. Taxis go wherever buses and trains cannot take you. While ticket prices are known in advance, this is not always the case with taxi fares. Although taxi companies in most countries are bound by law to fixed price limits, these are usually not known.
Calculating taxi fares can be useful for various reasons. For many passengers, it is important to know before the journey how much it will cost in order to be able to assess whether a taxi is a reasonable transportation option for the planned route.
Another application is the subsequent control of trips already completed in unfamiliar surroundings, for example on vacation. To ensure that you have paid an appropriate price, it is worth having the taxi price estimated retrospectively.
Our service is also frequently used by taxi drivers and companies. If the fare is freely negotiable, our taxi- calculator provides a reliable guideline for agreeing a reasonable fare.
Taxi tariffs in Great Britain are officially set by cities or districts. The London taxi tariff was last updated in April 2024 and published in the official tariff ordinance. It is binding for all licensed taxis and taxi companies within the compulsory driving area and may not be exceeded or undercut. This is ensured by officially calibrated taximeters installed in the taxis.
