Sixteen taxicab companies service the Las Vegas valley. When you enter a taxicab, the driver will start the taximeter (referred to as the "drop") and an initial charge of $3.30 will register. If a taxi ride originates at McCarran International Airport, an additional airport surcharge of $1.80 per trip is added to the taximeter. After the initial "drop", the taximeter will assess a fare of $2.40 per mile ($.20 for each 1/12th of a mile traveled). If the taximeter senses that the taxicab is moving less than 8-12 MPH, the taximeter will assess a charge of $.20 (twenty cents) every 24 seconds ($30.00 per hour waiting time). That is why the taximeter continues to accumulate charges even when the taxicab is not moving. Once the taximeter senses that the taxicab is moving at a speed greater than 8-12 MPH the fare calculates on the actual distance traveled. | Drop for initial activation of taximeter | $3.30 | | Each additional 1/12th mile ($2.40 per mile) | $.20 | | Waiting time per hour | $30.00 | | McCarran Airport fee per pick-up | $1.80 | MOST TAXICABS IN SOUTHERN NEVADA DO NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS AS PAYMENT...
