Black cabs for the corporate account are usually 30-40% more costly than a luxury Mercedes chauffeur. This can be attributed to the structure of the black cab service where all its drivers are self employed and even have fixed meter costs.
A corporate user will pay for the following if they were to use black cabs:
- The cost on the cabs meter. Usually from when it was booked to the pick - up point.
- The administration fee for the booking company which is usually a small percentage of lets say 5- 15% of the total journey cost.
- The booking fee which may be flat or a small percentage of the journeys total cost.
- Waiting and /or parking charges as it appears on the cab meter.
- The fee for the total journey cost which can be unpredictable.
- VAT
With such high costs as compared to other executive cabs, I have always wondered why people prefer these cab types. Actually the reason is very simple; the availability of such cabs is immediate and there is a uniformity of service. User feel adds on to the existing advantages similar to other taxis like flexibility and privacy.
