The rates for taxis in beijing cover a wide range of situations, including start-up prices, mileage, low-speed driving fees and night surcharges:
When travelling during the day, the start-up price is 13 yuan, up to 3 kilometres; after exceeding 3 kilometres, the cost per kilometre is 2. 3 yuan. The start-up price for the night at 23:00 to 17:00 is $15. 6 and the cost per kilometre after exceeding 3 kilometres is $2. 76. When the speed of the vehicle is less than 12 km/hour, the corresponding mileage rate will be applied for every 5 minutes accumulated。
In addition, in the case of more than 15 kilometres per one-way journey, additional fees would be charged to avoid the waste of resources caused by the flight. In the area above 15 kilometres during the day, 150 per cent of the basic unit price of $2. 3 per km is charged, or 3. 45 per km. At night, from 23:00 to 17:00, the portion exceeding 15 kilometres is charged at the rate of $2. 76 per kilometre。
There is also a special fee for appointment services. If you make an appointment for a taxi more than four hours in advance, you must pay $6 each; if you make an appointment within four hours, you must charge $5 each. This rule is designed to rationalize the allocation of resources to prepare drivers in advance and to facilitate passenger travel arrangements. There are also different fee rules for passengers who choose to travel by car. The portion of the carpool is paid at 60 per cent of the amount payable in non-carpool cases, which not only saves passengers but also improves the efficiency and environmental protection of vehicles。
In addition, the cost of crossing the bridge will be borne by the passengers and the specific costs will be adjusted to the actual situation or policy. The beijing taxi billing criteria take into account a combination of factors, such as mileage, time, speed, booking and carpooling, with the aim of balancing passenger travel needs with driver operating costs and ensuring that taxi services are fair, reasonable, efficient and easy。
Passengers are advised to identify specific costs with the driver before taking the car in order to avoid unnecessary disputes。
