Officially Set

The Sheffield taxi rate was officially set on January 1, 2012. Taxi tariffs in Great Britain are officially set by cities or districts.

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

The Sheffield taxi tariff determines how much passengers pay for a taxi journey. The fare is calculated based on the time of day, the distance travelled, and any waiting time during the journey. There are two main periods in the Sheffield taxi tariff: the day period and the night period.

During the day period, between 6:00 am and 10:00 pm, the journey starts with a base fare of £2.50. After the base fare, passengers are charged £1.38 per kilometre for the first 16 kilometres. If the trip is longer than 16 kilometres, each additional kilometre is charged at £1.68. If the taxi has to wait—for example, in heavy traffic or while the passenger completes an errand—the waiting time is charged at £12.00 per hour.

For trips during the night period, which is from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am every day, the base fare is £3.00. The rates per kilometre and for waiting time remain the same as during the day. Passengers pay £1.38 per kilometre for the first 16 kilometres and £1.68 for each kilometre thereafter. The waiting time is also £12.00 per hour.
