Moray taxi fare consultation begins
A month-long consultation has begun on proposals to review maximum fares for taxis operating within the Moray Council area.
As the licensing authority for taxi operators in the region, the Council is required by law to review charges every 18-months.
Currently, the maximum fare is a charge of £3.96 for the first mile, then 33p for each additional tenth of a mile. It is proposed that fares remain at this level.
The maximum fare represents the highest amount an operator is allowed to charge, although they have the flexibility to charge less if they wish.
The consultation runs from today (Thursday 6 February) until Thursday 20 March, and follows an informal consultation with Moray taxi operators carried out at the end of 2024.
More information, including on how to participate, can be found here.
Councillor Paul McBain, Chair of the Licensing Committee, said: “It’s important that we have a fare structure in place that works for both taxi operators and the public, and this consultation supports us in doing that.”
