Taxi fairs in Belfast

Can someone help me out here.

I have to get from Belfast city to Knockbracken health care park in Saintfield road can anyone tell me what a taxi will cost me?

Or anyone have local taxi numbers for Belfast?

Cheers.

Are you going from the city centre?

There's a bus goes from the Europa bus station - the number 18 as far
as I know. Pretty frequent throughout the day.

Lots of taxis outside bus and train stations. Knockbracken is about
15 minutes from city centre - you should probably just check with the
driver first.

Based on what a typical taxi costs me home from the city centre (I'm not too far from Knockbracken) - I'd allow about £8 one way. I'd certainly be surprised if it was over a tenner.

As for cabs, the biggest ones are Valucabs and Fonacab - numbers if your using a southern mobile would be 0044 28 90809080 or 0044 28 90333333.

The black taxis are apparently dearer and afaik they're technically the only ones licenced to lift non pre-booked fares off the street, so probably best to book.

Both Fonacab and Valuecabs have the same fare structure you can find from their website...minimum fare £3 with it being £3 for the first 0.7 miles then £1.15 per mile thereafter!!!
If you go on to googlemap and find the distance you can do the maths!:)
I think in the Republic they charge you extra depending on the amount of passengers...definitely stroked down there!!!

Don't mention the word maths! :eek: Thats one of the tests i have and i'm useless at maths.

No down here it don't depend on the number of passangers we still get fleeced.
