Taxi Fare Tariffs Explained
AS FROM 2022.
Please Note - PUBLIC RANK TAXI FARES ARE CONTROLLED BY THE DVS AND THE METERS ARE SEALED TO MAKE THEM TAMPER PROOF.
Altogether there are three numbered tariffs used for public rank hire or when the taxi is hailed down off the street. (Tariffs 1, 2 & 3 apply).
Private hire bookings that provide a door to door service also have 3 tariffs but they are lettered A, B & C. Pre-booked journeys are usually
charged at a higher rate to cover dead mileage and waiting time before getting to the pickup point.
These tariffs are automatically set by the Taximeter and not the driver.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO SETS OF TARIFFS.
Private hire fares can be as much as 50% more depending on the individual private hire company and this extra charge goes towards running depot costs and providing the door to door service,
as drivers often cover dead mileage and waiting time before they can start their meters.
PLEASE NOTE - JERSEY TAXIAPP Fares are set at the lowest private hire rate over any other private hire companies at 17% above public rank fares and we are currently the only operator that
gives you a fare estimation via an App booking.
