I've never liked Hackney carriages much. As soon as you get in one, you get stuck in traffic. But even if you don't get stuck, one has no idea when one enters the car how much the eventual fare might be. It could be anything!

I believe pre-booked taxis can be for a fixed fare.

Late at night hailed taxi drivers will sometimes give a competitive
fixed fare, but are unlikely to do that in rush hour.
