This surcharge, introduced in 2022, aims to help drivers offset increased operating costs, particularly due to rising fuel prices. The National Private Hire Vehicles Association (NPHVA), representing private-hire drivers, confirmed that these fees will remain in place until Sept 30.

Fuel prices have risen since March 2024, partly due to geopolitical tensions affecting oil supply routes.
