When calling for a private hire vehicle from a licensed operator in Spelthorne, passengers are advised to agree the fare at the time of hiring, supplying all relevant information, i.e. number of passengers, destinations if a multiple drop, or pick up points. The fare agreed at the time of hiring is then a contract with the operator and this fare should not be exceeded unless the hirer has subsequently changed the details of the journey.
If a licensed hackney carriage (taxi) is deployed by the private hire operator, the meter must be set in operation whilst the passengers are being carried in Spelthorne and must not be exceeded if the journey starts and finishes in Spelthorne, even if the journey takes the vehicle outside of the Spelthorne area. If the pick up points or destination are outside of Spelthorne, then the rules for a private hire hiring apply and the fare can be agreed before the journey commences or at the time of hiring. The meter must still be in operation whilst the vehicle is in Spelthorne. This gives the passengers the opportunity to decline the hiring and chose another operator.
