Fixed Prices
One Final Price for Your Airport Transfer or Long Distance Taxi
WAVE Taxi offers fixed prices for pre-booked airport transfers and long-distance taxi journeys.
The price we confirm is the final price for the agreed journey.
Airport charges, parking, tolls and other normal travel costs are already included. You will not be asked to pay unexpected extras after booking.
This makes it easier to plan your travel costs and compare our quote fairly with prices from other taxi companies or large booking apps.
For many airport transfers and long-distance journeys, WAVE Taxi is often around 30–50% cheaper than quotes from some local taxi companies or major booking platforms.
What Does a Fixed Price Mean?
A fixed price means that the cost of the agreed journey is confirmed before travel.
The price is based on:
Pickup location
Destination
Travel date
Pickup time
Number of passengers
Luggage
Planned stops
Waiting arrangements
Airport or port details
Any optional service requested
Once these details are confirmed, we provide one final price.
Normal traffic delays do not increase the price simply because the journey takes longer.
Everything Included in the Final Price
The fixed price normally includes:
Airport drop-off charges
Airport pickup fees
Required parking
Tolls
Normal road charges
The agreed route
The confirmed passengers
The confirmed luggage
Normal traffic delays
Standard journey planning
The usual costs needed to complete the agreed booking
There are no surprise charges added at the end of the journey.
Airport Transfer Prices with No Hidden Extras
Airport transfers often involve extra costs that are not always shown in the first price.
Some companies or booking apps may later add:
Terminal drop-off charges
Pickup zone fees
Parking
Waiting charges
One-way supplements
Tolls
Platform fees
Booking commission
With WAVE Taxi, the confirmed price already includes the normal airport and journey costs required for the agreed service.
This allows you to compare the real final price rather than a lower starting price that later increases.
Fixed Prices for Long Distance Taxi Journeys
Long-distance taxi travel is one of our main services.
We provide private journeys from North Wales to destinations across England, Scotland and Wales, as well as pickups from other parts of the UK travelling back to North Wales.
A fixed price is especially useful for long journeys because local taxi meter rates can become very expensive over several hours.
With WAVE Taxi, the full journey is planned in advance and priced as one complete booking.
For many routes, our fixed prices are often around 30–50% lower than quotes from some local taxi companies or large booking apps.

We provide fixed-price airport transfers to and from airports across the UK.
These include:
Manchester Airport
Liverpool Airport
Heathrow Airport
Gatwick Airport
Stansted Airport
Luton Airport
London City Airport
Birmingham Airport
East Midlands Airport
Leeds Bradford Airport
Bristol Airport
Edinburgh Airport
Glasgow Airport
Aberdeen Airport

Other UK airports
The confirmed fare includes normal airport access charges, parking, tolls and the agreed journey.
You know the full price before travel.
Normal Traffic Does Not Change the Price
Traffic is part of road travel.
A journey may take longer because of:
Motorway congestion
Roadworks
Accidents
Diversions
Busy airport traffic
Weather conditions
Normal delays on the agreed route
When a fixed price has been confirmed, normal traffic delays do not increase the fare.
You do not pay more simply because the journey takes longer than expected.
When Can the Price Change?
The price may only change when the customer changes the agreed booking or requests an additional service.
Examples include:
Adding another stop
Changing the pickup location
Changing the destination
Changing the route
Requesting extra waiting time
Adding Meet & Greet
Changing the travel date
Changing the pickup time
Increasing passenger numbers
Adding more luggage
Requesting another service not included in the original booking
Any change should be agreed with WAVE Taxi before travel whenever possible.
Meet & Greet
Meet & Greet is an optional airport service.
It may include additional parking, extra waiting time and meeting the passenger inside the terminal.
Because this is an additional service, it may cost more than a standard airport pickup.
If you request Meet & Greet, the extra cost will be explained before the booking is confirmed.
There will still be no surprise charge later.
Additional Stops
Any planned stop should be included when requesting a quote.
This may include:
Collecting another passenger
Dropping someone at a second address
Stopping at a hotel
Stopping at a workplace
Visiting a hospital
Adding a sightseeing stop
Waiting during an appointment
A normal short comfort break on a long journey can be planned in advance.
Adding a new stop after confirmation may change the price.
Extra Waiting Time
Waiting time can be included in the original quote where it is expected.
Additional charges may apply when the customer requests more waiting than originally agreed.
Examples include:
Waiting beyond the agreed pickup time
Long unscheduled stops
Waiting during an appointment
Delayed departure caused by incorrect information
Extra airport waiting outside the confirmed arrangement
A long stop added during the journey
Normal traffic delays are not treated as customer waiting time.
Luggage and Passenger Changes
The fixed price is based on the passenger and luggage details provided before booking.
Please tell us about:
The number of passengers
Large suitcases
Hand luggage
Pushchairs
Wheelchairs
Mobility equipment
Sports equipment
Oversized items
Vehicle space is limited.
If the number of passengers or amount of luggage changes, the original vehicle or price may no longer be suitable.
Fixed Price Does Not Mean a Metered Fare
A fixed-price airport transfer or long-distance taxi journey is not charged in the same way as a short local taxi trip.
You do not watch the price increase with every mile or every minute in traffic.
Instead, the full journey is agreed in advance.
This provides more certainty, especially for:
Airport transfers
Long-distance journeys
Cross-country travel
Hospital journeys
Business transport
Cruise and ferry terminal transfers
Private tours
Multi-stop travel
Compare Like for Like
When comparing our quote with another company, check whether their price includes:
Airport access fees
Parking
Tolls
Waiting
One-way charges
Booking commission
Platform fees
Luggage costs
Pickup charges
Some companies advertise a lower headline price but add these costs later.
WAVE Taxi gives one final price for the agreed journey.
No One-Way Fee Added Later
Many airport transfers and long-distance journeys are naturally one-way.
We do not advertise a low starting price and then add a surprise one-way fee later.
The price we confirm is based on the complete journey from the agreed pickup point to the agreed destination.
If you also book a return journey, both directions can be quoted clearly in advance.
Return Journey Prices
Outward and return journeys can be booked together.
Each journey will be priced using the confirmed details for that direction.
This may include:
Different pickup times
Different airport arrangements
Different waiting requirements
Different luggage
Different routes
The final price for both journeys will be explained before confirmation.
Fixed Prices for Early Morning and Night Travel
Very early morning, late-night or holiday travel may cost more than a normal daytime journey.
Any difference is included in the final price before booking.
There will be no separate night charge added later.
You will know the full amount before accepting the journey.
Fixed Prices for Business Travel
Businesses can request fixed prices for:
Airport transfers
Long-distance journeys
Travel between offices
Employee transport
Hospital or appointment travel
Regular pre-booked routes
Multi-stop business journeys
Fixed prices can make travel budgeting easier and reduce uncertainty.
Fixed Prices for Private Tours
Private tours can also be offered at a fixed price once the route and duration are agreed.
The quotation may include:
Pickup and drop-off
The planned route
Agreed sightseeing stops
Expected waiting time
Parking and tolls
Normal journey costs
If the customer later adds destinations, extends the tour or changes the route, the price may need to change.
Why Fixed Prices Are Better for Long Journeys
Long journeys involve more uncertainty than short local trips.
Traffic, roadworks and weather can all affect the travel time.
A fixed price protects the customer from watching the fare rise during normal delays.
It also makes the booking easier to understand.
You know:
What the journey costs
What is included
What can change the price
What additional services cost more
This gives you more confidence before travel.
