Barnsley Taxi Fares Explained
Barnsley hackney carriage fares are set by Barnsley Council as maximum charges, with the current tariff dating from May 2023. The standard day rate charges £4.50 for the first mile, followed by 10p for each subsequent 1/18th of a mile, so the per-kilometre rate works out to about £1.12.
Night, Sunday and bank holiday trips use higher tariffs, and the festive period in late December carries the most expensive rates. Metered waiting or stationary time is charged at 10p per 30 seconds, which equates to 20p a minute. Licensed hackney carriages must be checked and sealed so passengers are not overcharged.
