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.

Fuel Surcharge
The Miami-Dade Consumer Services Department has announced that
beginning Tuesday, March 29, 2011, taxicab drivers will be allowed
to add a $1.00 fuel surcharge to help offset the rising cost of
fuel. 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.
