Hi all I was wondering if i could have a price please for a journey from livingston west lothian (the livingston inn) to Edinghburgh (the royal mile) 10am going there and 4.00pm return. The wife and daughter are up there on a shopping trip and ordered a local private hire and got charged £70 return same driver. last year was £40 return including the tip. Just wondering if things have changed fare wise or theyve been taking for a ride and just want to arm myself with a bit knowledge before i phone the firm up.
best regards

difficult to say without knowing the companies rates,


whats the distance? 17-18 miles each way or thereabouts?

that sort of distance for PH over here would be about £20 each way but again it all depends on what their first mile is charged at then cost per mile.

I'm just saying what the ph firms here would charge

Its been a race to the bottom in Glasgow for years problem is the drivers are happy to accept it

And just what foxxy are yer doing about it with yer PHDA ehhh??

Can only deal with things the drivers want dealt with and unfortunately the vast majority are more than happy with £1.00/£1.10 a mile

Certainly act like it anyway same as they don't mind being trodden over by company owners almost laughable the lack of care from the vast majority
