The distinction between taxis and hire cars is a tricky judgement for local
authorities. We had the same debate in Cambridge over 30 years ago. But here
the hire cars have taximeters and generally charge the same fares as taxis,

The Cambridge council website says:

"The [private hire] fares are set by the company's meter or quoted in
advance."

It's quite common in that scenario for trips to airports etc to be done
at a fixed fee.
