Poole Taxi Fares Explained
BCP Council sets maximum hackney carriage tariffs that apply across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole zones, so fares in Poole mirror the wider conurbation. The approved structure was revised in 2026 with higher starting and first-mile charges.
There are six tariffs: day rate from 6am to 10pm, night rate from 10pm to 6am, and a Christmas and New Year rate, each split for cars carrying up to four passengers and larger vehicles carrying five to eight. Private hire operators set their own quotes, while a flat £2 booking fee applies to every pre-arranged hiring.
