kokonaismitaksi

Kokonaismitaksi is a Finnish term that translates to "total taxi" or "total fare taxi." It refers to a type of taxi service where the fare is fixed in advance, regardless of the duration of the trip or the specific route taken. This contrasts with traditional metered taxi services where the price is calculated based on distance and time.

The concept of kokonaismitaksi aims to provide customers with greater price certainty. Passengers know the exact cost of their journey before they even get into the vehicle, which can be particularly appealing for planning budgets or when traveling to unfamiliar destinations. This fixed pricing can be beneficial for both the customer and the taxi company, as it simplifies fare calculation and can streamline the payment process.

However, the implementation and availability of kokonaismitaksi can vary. Some companies may offer it as a standard option, while others might provide it for specific types of journeys, such as airport transfers or pre-booked long-distance trips. The fixed price is typically determined by factors such as the distance, time of day, and the type of vehicle. It's important for customers to clarify whether a service is kokonaismitaksi and to confirm the agreed-upon price before commencing the journey to avoid any misunderstandings. This system is designed to offer a transparent and predictable transportation experience within the Finnish taxi market.
