looks like if you call or book through a west Dumbarton taxi company the fare will increase by the following
A charge equivalent to the initial flagfall on Tariff 1 shall be payable for a taxi booking made by telephone or via App and not cancelled before arrival when the taxi is no longer required.
A £25.00 charge shall be payable for a taxi booking made by telephone or via App where the taxi has been booked to uplift passengers from outside the West Dunbartonshire area so if you re in Helensburgh use a local company not a west Dumbarton office on a Helensburgh number like T.O.A OR WRIGHTS or lomond and clyde as they are West Dumbarton licenced, based companies on their helensburgh numbers of 673333 or 674444 or 675555 so if you call these numbers you are calling an office in alexandria west dumbarton council, not a local licenced operator as no licence to operate more than three vehicles by Argyll and bute council. So call a local operator in helensburgh with a local issued booking licence off of our council not a west dumbarton licenced office as you might not get a local taxi for a journery outside of helensburgh and lomond area of Argyll and Bute council and be charged more than it actually costs.
