1. The Tours Taxi Rate Explained Simply

Officially Set

The Tours taxi rate was officially set on February 23, 2024. Taxi tariffs in France are officially set by cities or districts. The taxi tariff Tours was last set in February 2024 and published in the official tariff ordinance. It is binding for all taxis and taxi companies within the compulsory driving area and may not be exceeded or undercut. This is ensured by officially calibrated taximeters installed in the taxis.

How the fare is made up under the Tours taxi rate:

The taxi tariff of Tours sets out clear rules for how your fare is calculated. When you start your journey, there is a base fare of €8.00. During the day, from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, this base fare covers the first 2.44 kilometers of your trip. After this distance, you pay €2.36 for each additional kilometer. At night, from 7:00 pm to 7:00 am, the base fare applies to the first 1.62 kilometers, and each kilometer beyond this costs €3.54.

If your taxi is stopped or moving very slowly, a waiting time charge is applied. For both day and night, the waiting time is charged at €26.75 per hour. This fee is calculated based on how long the taxi is waiting or delayed, such as in heavy traffic or when the vehicle is stationary at your request.

To summarize, your final fare with the Tours taxi tariff will be made up of the base fare, the distance you travel beyond the included kilometers, and any waiting time that may apply. The price per kilometer and the distance covered by the base fare depend on whether your trip happens during the day or at night. This structure helps passengers understand the main factors that influence the cost of their taxi ride.
