In Brighton the ph charge exactly as taxis. All the firms have both.
Apart from the 6+ seaters which can charge meter and a half. :shock:
So to answrer you ? it's £5.10 for two miles during the day and £5.90 during the evening. And £6.90 for Sat and Sun early morning.
I think. :?

Minimum fare £36.00 and £2.20 per mile thereafter, Chauffeur prices. :D

The longer the distance the lower the price per mile becomes. 8)

I do loads of long distance mainly wait & returns.

We caharge a premium for into Central London also because of the traffic. :wink:

For standard PH though I believe it is driven by the Metered fare, good job this does not apply in London though, no metered cars you see only Black cabs are HC :lol: :lol:

Average PH mileage here is min fare £6 and around £1.60 per mile.

That assumes of course the driver speaks English and knows where he is going, for the other lot they quote £1 per mile and get lost and charge a fortune accordingly, even though everything is supposed to be fixed.

Regards

Eric
