Almost all iSpecial Hire Taxis charge a basic rate upon pick-up (usually $3-$5) and will then charge you per set distance (usually 1/8th of a Kilometre) for the duration of your journey. This wouldn’t apply if you’ve already agreed on a price with the driver (assuming both sides agree), perhaps over the phone while booking or before entering the vehicle.
Most regions also have a day and night charge. While the difference is usually closer to 20-30% than double, it’s worth being aware of if your taxi ends up being a bit more expensive than you anticipated.

Additional charges vary from region-to-region, but here are a few of the times you can expect to be charged more:
Friday/Saturday evenings
Sundays
Bank Holidays
Christmas Day/New Years Day (usually higher rates than Bank Holidays)
Any journeys starting/finishing at an airport
