We set the maximum rates of fares for hackney carriages across the county. Our aim is to strike a balance between setting a fare that is acceptable to the customer and to the driver.
These fares are reviewed regularly to ensure drivers are fairly rewarded for their work, and to also ensure that members of the public are not deterred from using taxis in their area.
We have compared the current table of fares with the maximum rates set by neighbouring authorities. The comparison charts can be viewed on our taxi fares page.
The fares are the maximum a driver can charge, and they can charge a lower fare should they wish to do so.
Please share your views on what you believe the maximum rates of fares for hackney carriages should be.
The consultation is open until Monday 28 July.
