Well this is all news to me.

I know councils can set the tarrifs for Hackneys but had no knowledge they can officially set the tariff for Private Hire.

I am aware that they do 'unofficially' in the vast majority of areas because PH fleets tend to follow the hack rates.

But surely a PH can charge what ever he likes as he enters a contract when taking the booking.


Scotland Tom, not England.

It relates to private hire vehicles fitting meters, those who fit meters cannot charge more than the fares regulated for hackney carriages. I forget the actual wording now but we did debate it some time ago. Perhaps FF can post the actual wording for us?

Regards

If any person demands fares or other charges in respect of the hire of a taxi or for the hire of a private hire car which is fitted with a taximeter in excess of the scales established under sections 17 and 18 of this Act, he shall be guilty of an offence....
