The Liverpool taxi rate was officially set on March 13, 2023. Taxi tariffs in Great Britain are officially set by cities or districts. The taxi tariff Liverpool was last set in March 2023 and published in the official tariff ordinance. It is binding for all 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.

How the fare is made up under the Liverpool taxi rate:

The Liverpool taxi tariff explains how passengers are charged for a typical taxi ride. The fare depends on the time of day, the distance travelled, and any waiting time during the journey. Special fees may apply for tolls such as tunnels, motorways, bridges, or airport routes.

During the day, from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm, every ride starts with a base fare of £3.25. Passengers pay £1.15 for every kilometre for the first 37 kilometres. If the distance goes beyond 37 kilometres, each additional kilometre costs £0.72. If the taxi is waiting, a charge of £12.00 per hour applies.

At night, from 11:00 pm to 6:00 am, the ride begins with a base fare of £4.25. For the first 37 kilometres, each kilometre costs £1.43. For distances beyond 37 kilometres, the charge is £0.91 per additional kilometre. Waiting time at night is charged at £15.00 per hour.

All tolls for tunnels, motorways, bridges, or airport routes are added to the fare. The final fare is the total of the base fare, charges for distance, any applicable waiting time, and any premium tolls. The Liverpool taxi tariff aims to provide a clear breakdown of these charges to help passengers understand how their fare is calculated.
