you make it click over at 10p per so many yards/meters (cant be bothered with the maths) if you want the fare to end up being a multiple of 10p.

No problem to the meter setters.

3. £0.40 per 586 yards and 2 feet.

3. £0.30 per 440 yards.

You should have said you were PH.

It's quite easy really, you just think of a number and double it, to calculate the fare. Of course you multiply by four for disabled passengers.

Nonsense!!..if PH were not competitive pricewise they'd never get any work..its in their interest to be as keenly priced as any hack is other wise the clients just go elsewhere..

Well your not going to get cars with trip meters that do anything other than 1/10 mile.
If you want to charge £1.20 a mile with 10p units, you will have to fit meters. Otherwise it's 12p per 1/10 mile.

You could do 12p per 1/10 mile and round it down to the nearest 10p.

You might also want to consider a minimum fare e.g. £2/£3 or even £5. Otherwise you could end up running all over the place for uneconomic hires.

make it £3.50 for the 1st mile and £1.50 a mile there after
you will need the extra income to pay for the repairs to the car
