What a Kingstanding Taxis car costs
We have never tried to be the cheapest company in Birmingham. What we aim at is a fair price attached to a service you can rely on at 4am as much as 4pm.

What can affect your fare
The figure is built from your actual journey, so a handful of things move it:
- Airport drop-off and collection charges
- Tunnel and toll charges
- Journey distance and route
- Waiting time and extra stops
That is why you always see your exact price for your specific journey before you book, worked out from the tariff and the fixed fares shown above.

Taxi Price Questions
The questions we get asked most about how our fares work.
Local journeys run on a start rate plus a per-mile rate, with small supplements in the evening, overnight and on Sundays and bank holidays. A short hop across Kingstanding is typically a few pounds. The exact figure is confirmed before you book.
Airports, stations and long-distance runs are quoted as one fixed figure before you travel. Local work runs on the standard tariff instead.
Put your pick-up and destination into the booking form and the office will come back with the fare, or ring 0121 496 0123 and they will quote it on the spot.
Neither. Your fare does not climb because it is raining, busy or past midnight, and there is no fee for the act of booking. The figure quoted is the figure charged.
On fixed-fare work, yes. Airport drop-off and pick-up charges, and any tolls on the route, are inside the quote from the start. Nothing gets added at the drop-off.
