How to view the Jumbo Taxi fare schedule: Explanation of the time-based and airport-based flat-rate system and guidelines

First, let me give you a general overview. The Jumbo Taxi price depends on two options: “time-based (private charter)” and “zone/airport flat rate.” On this page, we will explain in order the time-based pricing (approximate rates starting at 2 hours), what it would be like if you calculated it per person, why there are no extra charges for late night and early morning rides, and how to get an accurate quote. The coverage area is centered on Tokyo 23 wards and the Musashi district in Saitama Prefecture; if the “pickup location” and “drop off location” are within the area, you can consult us for a quote for the other location anywhere in Japan.

There are only two ways to charge for Jumbo Taxis:

First, let’s get a general idea of the situation. The fees are determined by one of two options: first, by determining which of the two approaches is more appropriate for your own usage, and then the tables following it will be much easier to read.

If it’s something like sightseeing or traveling around where you want to go here and there or want to wait for something, or if it’s something like getting from point A to point B with a shuttle bus from Haneda or Narita Airport, where it’s clear what the price is, it should be easier to imagine.

Approximate rates for time-based (private charter) services

Time-based ticketing is a system where the rental fee per vehicle is determined based on the time of use. The table below is a guide for travel within the Tokyo 23 wards and Musashi (Musashino City, Mitaka City) area. It also includes the "per person" cost when nine people are traveling together. The actual amount will vary depending on the route and destination, so the final price is subject to change.web formOur quote is the most reliable option.

Minimum usage time and how to count time

Time-based rentals start from a minimum of two hours. Since each vehicle is rented out in its entirety, you don’t have to call for additional taxis if you need to stop along the way or wait at a tourist attraction. Time-based rentals are ideal for multi-location travel, such as going from a shrine in the morning to a dining venue in the afternoon and then back to the station on foot.

Approximate cost for one-way or airport round-trip travel

Similar to transfers to Haneda and Narita airports, travel with clear destinations and departure points can be provided at a pre-determined flat rate for each area. This is reassuring because you don’t have to worry about the meter going up or down; you can see the price in advance before you board the bus. The airport-specific guide is summarized on each page of fees.

If you are traveling to or from areas other than those listed, or if you plan to visit multiple locations, the fee may not fit within the standard rate. In that case, please rest assured that we will provide a separate quote after reviewing the details.

4 reasons why the price isn't as high as you'd expect

The figures in the price list alone do not convey the ease of understanding of the rates unique to Jumbo Taxi. The following four points are points that stand out when compared to other means of transportation.

Consider it compared to other means of transportation

Each method has its advantages. Here, I’ll be honest and list them all, including the fact that each one is “a bit annoying in this situation.” Please consider them in the context of your own travel itinerary.

If you prioritize "all of us together, without switching trains, from door to door with all our luggage," then a private car might ultimately be more convenient. Conversely, if you have a small group and you have luggage that's easy to carry, a train might be a more convenient option. Use this as a guide for how to prioritize your travel.

The time-based option requires a minimum of two hours of rental, and the more people you have, the lower the price per person. Airport transfers are priced per zone, with no additional fees for rides at the airport. The design of no extra charge for vehicle upgrades, no additional fees for late or early morning departures, and free airport pickup are also designed to make the pricing easy to understand.
