We are looking at increasing the Tariffs in our manor in the next couple of months. I'm wondering what to put in as a reasonable tariff? Here is the Current fare table. Rentals for vehicles this area range from £165 for half rent upto £270 -£280 for full rent. As you're all aware the increased prices in fuel and other associated add ons has hit everyone. |

You could try simplifying the tariff sheet for a start dispense with all the bank holiday charges So it would be something like ours http://www.scotborders.gov.uk/downloads ... sh_borders |

I take it you don't use a fares formula? If not I personally wouldn't move the flag, but maybe up the mileage rate for 1 to £2.00 a mile, and 2 to £2.30/2.40. Or reduce the initial yardage so the clock ticks over quicker to the first drop. |

Our flagfall has just been put up to £1.70 with £1.80 per mile and we have people discounting that quite heavily !! I would say wait a little longer and see if the fuel continues to escalate if it doesn't then a little less yardage for your £3.00 would give you a little more on each fare without alarming the customers if it does continue to escalate then I think £2.00 per mile might become realistic IF passengers round your way would pay it |

I prefer a £3 flag for first mile,with a 1.70 flag if you do only half a mile you only get 1.70,not worth opening the door. |
