JumboTaxy.com also provides general taxi services. Basic information on late night and early morning taxi fares!
What are the hours of the taxi fare surcharge?
The fare is increased by 20% between 22:00 and 05:00, and the distance per kilometer is reduced by 20% if you ride during this period. If the "increased fare hours" are from 22:00 to 05:00, then the "other hours" are the normal fare hours.
How is the taxi fare surcharge calculated?
As an example, if normally "other times of the day" is 500 yen per kilometer, then in the "time of the premium" it is 500 yen for 800 meters. This is the sense that the meter spins faster, and the surcharge is automatically applied according to the distance traveled. When the fare setting switches, "beep! Beep! Beep!" At the same time, an electric bulletin board called "super" on the passenger's dashboard changes from red letters for "fare" to green letters for "surcharge. You will notice that the meter rises quickly when you are driving on the highway late at night. If you are using a taxi, it is important to understand this point so that you can ride with peace of mind.
For ease of calculation, we are talking here about 1 km/500 yen.
What is the difference between a regular taxi and a hired car?
In terms of the fare structure, this section describes the differences between regular cabs and for-hire services. Many companies may not adopt the "20% surcharge for late-night and early-morning service" system for their hire services, and the fee is determined by the time of use. However, some companies may have a "late-night surcharge" or "early-morning surcharge. By the way,JumboTaxy.comWe do not have a "20% late-night/early-morning surcharge" system in place for our hired car service. In addition, our company,Heiwa Kanko Corp.The Taxi Department of "Heiwa Kanko Co., Ltd." is well known as the only taxi company in Saitama Prefecture that offers "pick-up fare free" taxi service.

Advice from the webmaster of JumboTaxy.com, who also drives a taxi or hired car
We have provided information on the fare structure for late-night and early-morning taxis, how they are calculated, and how they differ from for-hire services. In particular, choosing the appropriate time of day and understanding the fare are important for a safe cab ride. Let's take a look at an example of how I explain a rough estimate of the fare to cab passengers when I operate as a cab driver.
*Conversation between a user and a taxi driver riding from Omiya-ku, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture, at 10:30 p.m.
userHow much is it from here to Ginza 7-chome in Tokyo?
driverThe distance from Omiya to Ginza in Tokyo is about 32 km, so at this time of the day, the "20% extra fare" is in effect, so the calculation is 500 yen per km, which roughly translates to 16,000 yen plus the expressway fee. Incidentally, if the time is other than the "20% extra charge" time, it is calculated at km/ 400 yen, just to give you an idea,
userThank you very much (^^), that was very helpful. When taking a taxi, I should just use a map app to get a rough distance and then calculate km/500 yen or something like that.
