Wolverhampton Taxi Fares Explained
Wolverhampton hackney carriage fares are metered and capped by Wolverhampton City Council, with separate tariffs for daytime, night time and bank holidays. Private hire fares are set by each operator and are usually quoted as a fixed price before the journey.
A typical 5km daytime trip across Wolverhampton costs around £8 to £10, depending on traffic and route. Night, weekend and bank holiday journeys cost more because higher tariffs apply, and waiting time is charged by the hour.
Extra charges can apply for luggage, soiling or pre-booked airport transfers. For private hire, confirm the total fare with the operator before you travel.
