Nelson -Bolton

[Rock'n'Roll]

Anyone have a rough idea what a taxi would charge from Nelson to Bolton. Need to go Sat to a party,but the last bus to Manchester seems to be around 2200

A rough guide to UK taxi fares (outside of London) is to work on the basis that fares are charged at around �2 per mile. The AA routefinder says that Nelson is 25.9 miles from Bolton, so that provides a guide figure of around �50. Note, however, that many firms charge extra after midnight or for 'out of area' jobs. That might take the fare nearer to �80. (It had better be a good party for that price!).

For some quotes, try these numbers (all with the 01282 dialling code):
690888
699990
616616
619619
615615
693693

If you expect to be travelling after midnight, remember to state this when you call or you might get a shock when you find that the actual fare is much higher than the 'daytime' quote.

Thank you all. Not sure about thanking BUENCHICO,the prices mentioned frightened me to death :)
If those mentioned are correct,then it's 2200hrs x43 to whitefield and a taxi from there. I'll get the gaffer to ring some of them for a quote,hoping to leave about 2300.
BOO,i'm afraid I've only ever passed through Nelson as my friend lives in Colne,so don't know what it's like. I know she's somewhat scathing about Burnley

I recently did manchester to burnley and that was 50 notes after a lot of haggling

Thanks. We got the x43 fom Pretwich,fiver each return. Wouldn't have been worth that kind of extra cash just for an extra hour at party
