LAS VEGAS TAXICAB FARES, FEES AND INFORMATION
Lost and Found for Las Vegas Taxicabs:
The phone number to call if you have left something inside a taxi cab in Las Vegas is (702) 668-4000, press 3 for lost items. You can also use the Taxi cab authority’s online form.
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 $3.45 will register. If a taxi ride originates at McCarran International Airport, an additional airport surcharge of $2 per trip is added to the taximeter.
After the initial “drop”, the taximeter will assess a fare of $2.68 per mile ($.21 for each 1/13th 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 $.27 every 30 seconds ($32.40 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 $3.45
Each additional 1/13th mile ($2.68 per mile) $.21
Waiting time per hour $32.40
McCarran Airport fee per pick-up $2
