Unlike black cabs that use meters, minicabs operate on fixed fare pricing. The total price is confirmed at the time of booking and does not change due to traffic or delays. There are no hidden charges or surprise surcharges. In the UK, tipping is optional and relaxed. If service is average, paying just the base fare is perfectly acceptable.
