All taxis and most private hire cars carry calibrated taximeters and the maximum fare that can be charged for a journey within Aberdeen is set out in the Taxi Fare Tariff set by the Licensing Committee. A copy of the tariff is available in each vehicle for the information of the travelling public.
Fares are calculated using a calibrated meter according to the City of Aberdeen approved tariff. Private hire cars with a meter may charge less than the approved fare table indicates. For taxi journeys outside of Aberdeen, or private hire cars without a meter, the fare must be negotiated before the journey commences.
