Increase in Maximum Taxi Fares from December 1st 2024.
Following public consultation on the increase in operating costs experienced by taxi drivers since 2022 (full public consultation report below), particularly in relation to the cost of living and running costs, the Taxi Regulation (Maximum Fares) Order 2024 will increase taxi fares by an average of 9%, weighted across time bands and distances, from 01 December 2024. The higher fare includes an extension of the existing Special Rate to the weekend peak, in an effort to incentivise more drivers to service the night time economy. The fee for pre-booking a taxi will also increase from €2.00 to €3.00.
