A revolutionary cab pricing system launches in Manchester today, providing customers with fixed fares on every journey booked via the Gett app. 

Instead of being charged on the meter, Gett confirms the price of each ride in advance. The innovation will help traditional black cabs fight back against the competition with fares starting from £2.80. 
The fiercely competitive taxi market in Manchester has been revolutionised as apps like Gett bring their services to the city. 

Fixed fares solve the well known problem of ‘meter anxiety’ – having to watch the meter increase as the journey continues – and Gett’s ‘no surge’ policy means taxi passengers don’t have to worry about being stung with a large fee at the end of the ride. 

 Chris Elsheikhi, Gett’s UK City Manager, said: “Following its success in London and Birmingham, we’re thrilled to be bringing fixed fares to Manchester. Unlike the competition, our customers get price certainty so they always have the best price – we’re very proud to have a no-surge policy globally.”

“Gett has always aligned itself at the forefront of technology which is why we’re so pleased to finally launch Fixed Fares in Manchester, one of Britain’s fastest growing tech hubs”

Gett launched in Manchester after it was named one of the most progressive cities in the UK, with the largest tech cluster and growth outside of London. Gett celebrates black cabs being an integral part of the digital revolution by introducing everyone to safe and comfortable travel in a licensed taxi around the city.

If you’re in Manchester, you can now book a fixed fare black cab via Gett.

 Simply enter your destination in the app, choose card payment and the price will be automatically displayed before booking. Customers must first register a debit or credit card in the app before attempting to book a fixed fare ride. Fixed fares are available 24/7 across Manchester and customers can still choose to pay the meter fare if they wish.

 Fixed fare black cabs are available in Manchester 24/7 via the Gett app which is free to download on iOS and Android.
