Pricing & Payment

Pricing & Payment Questions

Do you use a meter or fixed fares?+
Globe Taxis uses fixed fares for all pre-booked journeys — not a running meter. You know the full price before you travel, with no hidden charges, no surcharges for traffic, and no surprises. The fare you are quoted is the fare you pay.
What payment methods do you accept?+
We accept card payments in all vehicles (credit and debit cards). We also accept cash. For corporate accounts, invoiced billing is available. Online bookings can be paid via card through our booking portal. You do not need to carry cash if you prefer to pay by card.
Is there a minimum fare?+
Our local taxi service starts from £5 for short rides within Leighton Buzzard. Long distance journeys are priced from £1.80 per mile. Airport transfers have fixed fares — for example, Leighton Buzzard to Luton Airport starts from approximately £45. Call 01525 455 455 for an exact quote for your specific journey.
Are there extra charges for night journeys?+
A small night-time supplement may apply for journeys starting between midnight and 6am. This will always be stated clearly at the time of booking — there are no hidden charges added after your journey. For all airport transfers, the price quoted includes all charges.
Is there a charge for waiting time?+
For airport return pickups, there is no waiting charge if your flight is delayed — we track your flight live and your driver adjusts accordingly. For general waiting time during a journey (e.g., a brief stop), short waits are typically included. Extended waiting periods (60+ minutes) may carry a waiting fee which is agreed at booking.
Do you offer return journey discounts?+
Yes. Discounts are available for return journeys booked together. Please ask when booking your outbound journey and our team will provide a combined fare. Regular customers and corporate account holders also benefit from preferential pricing.
