I was always more concerned with the price. “I was robbed!” has always been what came to mind. I’ve never had a cab ride anywhere in the world that I thought, “Gee...that was a good price.” In Seoul, Korea, they should pay you for riding with those guys.

you should see what we charged on new years :)
we make NOTHING

if you book 200 in 12 hours, which is a lot, half is yours, minus 15 gallons gas, which 2 yeas ago was 60 bucks, plus tips maybe 30, so seventy bucks for 12 hours. six big ones an hour!!!
glad for the boys that gas went down and they’re getting realistic cabs on the road, no ore grand marquis

I have. In 2000 I hired a taxi to drive from Bangkok, Thailand up to Udonthani, Thailand. That was an all day trip. The price was pay for the gasoline, LPG, (it was a dual fuel taxi,) and include him for meals along the way. Total cost was under $100.

Two weeks later used the same guy and taxi to return to Bangkok, then the next day for a trip down to Hua Hin beach.
Same rate, pay for fuel and include him in meals.
