Taxi Fare Tariffs Explained
Please Note -
PUBLIC RANK TAXI FARES ARE CONTROLLED BY THE DVS AND THE METERS ARE SEALED TO MAKE THEM TAMPER PROOF.
There are three numbered tariffs (1, 2 & 3) used for public rank hire or when a taxi is hailed on the street.
For private hire bookings that provide a door-to-door service, a separate set of three tariffs (A, B & C) applies. Pre-booked journeys are generally charged at a higher rate to account for dead mileage and waiting time before reaching the pickup location. These tariffs are automatically set by the taximeter and cannot be adjusted by the driver.
Difference Between Public Rank and Private Hire Tariffs: Private hire fares can be up to 50% higher, depending on the taxi company. This increase helps cover depot operating costs and the added convenience of a door-to-door service. Additionally, drivers factor in dead mileage and waiting time before starting the meter, which affects the overall fare.
Please note: JERSEY TAXIAPP fares are set at the lowest private hire rate among all taxi companies, at just 18% above public rank fares. We are currently the only operator that provides a fare estimate through our app when booking a ride.
