The cheapest and most expensive cities to take a taxi in the UK

Coventry has topped the charts of a recent survey comparing taxi prices across the country. The analysis, undertaken by private number plate sales firm Regtransfers.co.uk, analysed the price of multiple journeys in black cabs across Britain's 25 largest cities, and found the difference to be almost a pound a mile between the cheapest and most expensive.

Topping the chart was Coventry – curiously, home to production of the iconic London Black cab since 2003. Journeys in the midlands city cost an average of £3.11 per mile – almost a pound more than the cheapest city, Liverpool – with an average cost of £2.15 per mile.
