Title: Can you fix price an taxi journey?
Post by: who can tell on October 31, 2016, 09:49:13 PM

If you were travelling quite a fair distance say for example Chesterfield to Mansfield in an taxi as an example can you negotiate a price before hand than having an metered journey?

Yes. In a taxi. That's why I have regular customers, we have agreed prices before journeys.
Private hire might involve the booking office. Drivers shouldn't agree fixed price jobs without their operators consent. Afaik ;-)

Strangely enough I have spoken with our regular taxi driver only yesterday and given quite a few dates for 2017.
The local ones we know as they have been done many times before.

The others Heathrow and Southampton he gave me prices for being only one way journey's.

Fly - do you still do your school runs?

Yes, but a bit more local nowadays. Not Derby or Nottingham anymore  ;)
