Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this taxi fare estimate?
Our calculator uses real-world distance data and standard UK taxi tariffs. However, final prices may vary slightly due to traffic conditions, specific route choices, or local operator pricing.
Does this work for the Forest of Dean and Deans?
Yes, the tool is location-agnostic. You can enter any UK postcode or place name, including Forest of Dean, Deans, or specific London boroughs.
What is the difference between a Standard and an Estate car?
A Standard Saloon carries up to 4 passengers with light luggage. An Estate car offers more boot space for extra luggage or larger items like golf clubs or pushchairs.
Do I pay extra for waiting time?
Most taxi meters charge for waiting time. Our calculator allows you to add estimated waiting minutes (e.g., for a quick stop) to see how it affects the fare.
Can I book a taxi through this calculator?
No, this is a fare estimation tool only. It helps you plan your budget and avoid price shocks.
Are night rates more expensive?
Yes, most UK councils implement higher tariffs for late-night journeys (usually after 10pm or 11pm).
