Meter Notes
What may affect the final fare
The fare calculator gives a distance-based estimate. Waiting time, traffic, tolls, airport fees, and approved charges may change the final metered total.
Example fare explanation
If Bob travels one mile in a taxi, the meter starts with the base fare and then adds distance charges based on the completed mileage increments. The final fare depends on the meter, not only the straight-line distance.
Waiting time and traffic
Cab waiting time in Richmond VA is charged at $0.50 for every 80 seconds. Idling time may also count as waiting time, including traffic delays or requested stops.
