Questions

How are airport taxi fares calculated?

Each car type has a starting charge plus a rate per road mile, with a minimum fare. For a saloon that is £32 plus £1.50 a mile, minimum £35. Road miles come from the actual driving route between your area and the terminal.

Why are pickups from the airport dearer?

Airports charge for parking. The driver parks in the short stay car park and meets you inside, so pickups carry £12 to £15 for the car park.

Is it cheaper per person in a bigger car?

Often, yes. Six people in an MPV usually pay less each than splitting into two saloons, and an 8 seater is usually the cheapest per head for a group.
