How is the taxi in Liverpool charged?

Question

Can you tell me how much it costs to hire a taxi to go, say,1 km? and Is it easy to hire a taxi in Limestreet Station in the 11:00 pm?

By the way, can you give me some useful websites on taxi in Liverpool?

Answer 1

theres a massive taxi rank at lime street, cabs there through the night apart from around 2 am when cabs are a bit harder to come by!
1k would cost about £2 ish it depends on what time as after i think 11 pm the basic rate goes up!
hire a private cab, they come pretty quick or just jump in, there reasonable prices up there

Answer 2

it is very easy to get a taxi outside Lime Street station even at that time there is a Taxi rank there and by law they have to charge you what is on the meter

Answer 3

That's the councils page on taxis, where to find the ranks and how much they charge.

There are 2 ranks at Lime St, one at each end of the station.

Answer 5

After 11pm the rate goes up, so it will start on the meter at about £3, so thats what it would be for 1km.

Answer 6
