Fuel Surcharge
There is currently no fuel surcharge in effect. However, a law was passed in
June 2008 to allow taxicab drivers to add a fuel surcharge to fares if the price
of gas rises to a determined amount. The rate schedule calls for a fuel
surcharge of one dollar when the price of regular unleaded gasoline remains at
an average of $3.50 a gallon for three consecutive weeks. Surcharges in
increments of $0.50 kick in for every $0.50 increase in gas prices thereafter.
The average weekly price of gas is based on data gathered by the Energy
Information Administration (EIA), a branch of the U.S. Department of Energy.
Avg. Price Per Gallon
Fuel Surcharge Rates
$ 3.50
$ 1.00
$ 4.00
$ 1.50
$ 4.50
$ 2.00
$ 5.00
$ 2.50
$ 5.50
$ 3.00
If the fuel surcharge goes back into effect, notice of the surcharge will be
posted in each taxicab.
The driver will add the surcharge using the "extra" button on the taximeter.
On flat fare trips where the taximeter is not used, and on a small number of
meters that do not have an "extra" button, the driver will manually add the
surcharge to the fare.
If the average price of gas drops, so will the fuel surcharge according to the
rate schedule above.

Taxicabs General Information
General Information
A taxicab is a for-hire motor vehicle which transports eight
passengers or less (exclusive of the driver) and provides either
street hail or pre-arranged taxicab service. It is equipped with a
taximeter, and the passenger controls the route and destination. The
drivers of such vehicles must have a chauffeur's registration, and
the vehicles must be inspected.
Passengers should make sure the driver is registered and the vehicle
is licensed. There must be a decal and/or license number on the
exterior of the vehicle, and the driver's picture and registration
number must be displayed on the vehicle dashboard.
Taxis in Miami-Dade County are required to have a Sunpass
transponder. This allows taxicab drivers to add tolls to the fares
but at the discounted Sunpass rate.
There is no per passenger or baggage charge.
The fare is the amount shown on the meter, unless a flat rate
applies. Flat rate taxi service applies to trips to and from Miami
International Airport and the Seaport (Port of Miami), the Beaches,
the Village of Key Biscayne and two zones close to the Airport (see
the flat rate guide posted on the right rear passenger window).
The meter starts when the taxi begins the trip toward the desired
destination.
ˆ top
Rates
Except where flat rates are operational, fares are determined by the
taximeters which are inspected and sealed at the Consumer Services
Department's Vehicle Inspection Station.
The metered rate is calculated at:
$2.50 for first 1/6 of a mile
$0.40 for each additional 1/6 mile
$0.40 per minute ($24 per hour) wait charge
Road tolls are in addition to the metered fare. The passenger pays
the lower Sunpass rate.
For trips originating at Miami International Airport or the Port of
Miami a $2 surcharge will be added to the meter fare.
Tipping is optional but customary. The passenger is entitled to
receive a receipt.
