Taxi Price Questions
The questions we get asked most about how our fares work.
Local journeys start at a £3.40 start rate (£5.10 for a 6-8 seat minibus) plus around £2.20 per mile, so a short trip across Basildon typically comes to about £5-8. Evening, overnight and Sunday/bank-holiday journeys are charged at a slightly higher rate. You will always see the exact, up-to-date price for your specific route before you book — on our website, the A&B Taxis app, or by phone.
Airport transfers and long-distance journeys are quoted as a fixed fare before you travel, with tolls and the Dartford Crossing already included — you can see our fixed "from" airport prices on this page. Local journeys are worked out from our standard tariff (a start rate plus a per-mile rate, with higher evening, night and Sunday/bank-holiday rates) based on your exact route, so the price is always current and accurate.
Our standard tariff and our fixed "from" airport transfer prices are published on this page. We do not list a fixed price for every possible journey because the final fare depends on your exact route, the time of day, and any airport, tunnel or toll charges — so instead you will always get an accurate, up-to-date price for your specific journey before you book.

Airport transfers are quoted as a fixed fare before you travel.

Enter your journey on our website or app to see your exact fixed price. Tolls and the Dartford Crossing are included.
Yes. For fixed-fare journeys such as airport transfers, tolls and the Dartford Crossing charge are already built into the price we quote, so there is nothing extra to pay on the day.
No. We do not use surge pricing — your fare will not jump because it is busy, raining, or late at night. The price you are quoted is the price you pay.
You can pay by card and contactless in the vehicle, through the A&B Taxis app, by cash, or on a corporate account. All major debit and credit cards are accepted.
