Taxi (hackney carriage) fares agreed by the council sets out the maximum fares that taxis can charge passengers in North Devon. The tariff has a fuel surcharge within it to allow drivers to be compensated for any episodes of fuel price volatility. Drivers should use the Government’s weekly road fuel price to determine whether this should be applied for any given week. 

Maximum fares vary depending on what time or day you travel. There are also different maximum fares for how many other passengers you are travelling with. For example, there are two different rates - one for up to four passengers and another for five to eight passengers.
