Tariff adjustments
We are adjusting Tariffs by 0.20p
During the past few months, Royal Cars has, like many businesses, suffered a significant increase to its input costs particularly around energy consumption, staff and labour.
Additionally, the self-employed Driver Partners have experienced similar expense increases ranging from vehicle maintenance to insurance and more importantly, the record-high fuel costs which are a key element of their daily spend.
Royal Cars has tried very hard to minimise the resulting impact on our Customer fares, but we are now facing a further issue where Drivers struggle to see Taxi-work as attractive. This is predominantly due to the fact that fares have not been reviewed for many years and no longer reflect market rates.
Royal Cars needs to ensure we can provide you with a reliable and good level of service and so we are now increasing our Tarrif by 0.20p for both days & night to customers.
Please see below for our updates tariffs.
