Sendai Taxi Fares Explained
Sendai taxis operate on a metered tariff for the Sendai City transport area, which includes Sendai and several neighboring municipalities. The meter starts with an initial charge, then adds fixed increments for each short distance travelled.
In congested traffic the meter can switch to a time based charge, so slow rides may cost more than the distance alone suggests. Late night surcharges and advance reservations can add to the final fare.
