How much extra are you allowed to challenge if you carry more than five passengers to a maximum of eight obviously................. that is if you're allowed to charge extra. would be grateful for a few answers :wink:

with no meter (PH) and the carried avoiding having to have two 4 seaters then 50% extra seems fair

of course that may then be as much as the meter rate is after midnight (etc), maybe a bit more then....

We're allowed 10p per passenger in excess of two. So a full eight seater could add 60p to the meter!!

thats maybe why ive got an 8 seater tourneo (soon to be 9 seat) tourneo waiting to plate PH then.... 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

where ive been plated before, and back when 7 seat peugeot 505 estates were all the go, the meter went on time and half (during normal time) if more than 4 passengers got in, totally illegal but no-one knew the law...

for those who are hard of thinking

the tourneo was available with either a single (8 seater) or twin front passenger seat (9 seater)

try finding a proper tourneo trim twin seat passenger though....

That wasn't clear in the post. I thought you meant 9 passengers. I stand corrected.
