Dundee taxi fares set to rise by 12.72% ahead of Christmas season



Taxi fares in Dundee could see an increase of 12.72% from 1 December if plans are approved by the city’s licensing committee this week.


The proposed hike comes as part of the council's annual review of pricing, just in time for the busy Christmas period.

The new fare structure would impact all tariffs, covering daytime, weekday evenings, weekend evenings, and festive periods. If approved, the revised rates would mean higher costs for passengers to help cover the sharp increase in costs paid out by cabbies.


For daytime rides, the base fare (Tariff 1) is set to rise from £3.75 to £4.20, with an increase in the cost per 1/10th of a mile from 19p to 22p.


Evening weekday journeys (Tariff 2) could jump from £4.09 to £4.62, with a similar increase in the cost per mile increment from 21p to 24p.

Weekend evening fares (Tariff 3) would see a rise from £4.43 to £5.04, with each additional 1/10th of a mile increasing from 23p to 26p.


For the festive period (Tariff 4), the base fare would rise from £5.11 to £5.58, with each 1/10th of a mile rising from 26p to 31p.
