In order to make a forecast about the estimated taxi price in London, we use the current taxi tariff London. This was last fixed in October 2018. The London taxi tariff consists of a basic charge, various kilometer prices and a time-dependent component for standing and waiting times. Based on the entered start and destination address, we first determine the shortest taxi distance between these two points. We use the resulting distance and estimated driving time to calculate an estimated value for your forthcoming taxi journey in London with the taxi tariff valid today. Of course, the start and destination addresses do not necessarily have to be in London. We will automatically find the right fare.
