    Tariff A is the normal one. Mon - Sat 8am to 8pm

    Tariff B is Sundays, public holidays and 8pm to 8am

    Tariff C is Christmas Eve to Stephens day morning and 8pm New Years Eve until tomorrow morning. The most expensive rate of all

    So yeah, the AH answer is tell the taxi man to be gentle as you will be shafted!

    Never knew that. Cheers Mike.
    Still reckon a good percentage of taxi drivers are gonna shaft people futher tonight. Alot of drunken people after all.

    I always remember coming home from dublin city centre one night in 2008. Wasnt New Years Eve or anything but it was the only time I ever slept in a taxi ride home (Was going to Blanchardstown) Average fair was €21 to €23 euro. When the taxi driver gets to the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre he wakes me and the meter reads €27 odd euro :rolleyes: ... wasnt even home yet and already it was the highest ever :rolleyes:

    My own fault. Shouldnt have slept and I shouldnt have payed the full fare. But I was drunk, I was tired and I just wanted to get in and sleep. Fecking rip offs. One of two experiences that put me off taxis.

    Cross a county border. That's a paddling.
    Extra luggage. That's a paddling,
    Stopping off for chips in supermacs. You better believe that's a paddling.

    I imagine they are not legitimate taxis. In china in any city you have to wait about 30 mins for a legit taxi at a train station. The police escort you into the taxi and the taxi reg is photographed to track it if there is any issues. But go out onto the street and there is plenty of black market taxis that not even the Chinese will take.

    Seems at €1.77 a km is the Tariff C, but how much extra is it to cross a county border? I ask as 19.5km's would equal a fare of €34.52 plus a passenger to get €35.51 but the taxi man will always charge around the €50-€60 mark.

    And this is on a normal Friday night.

    Nothing, user was joking / trolling.

    You were ripped off. Note that you need to add the ~€4.50 basic charge, so it would be €39.
