What to know
## Crickhowell taxi fares
Crickhowell (Crug Hywel) is the Usk-valley town under Table Mountain — Powys taxi table; Beacons walks, not Abergavenny’s market (different council).
## Getting around by taxi in Crickhowell
Crickhowell (Crug Hywel) sits in the Usk Valley on the A40 under Table Mountain — a Black Mountains market town, not an Abergavenny station rank and not Brecon's Bulwark strip. There is no local rail; most car-free arrivals come via Abergavenny (~6 miles, typically £10–£16) or from Brecon (~13 miles, typically £20–£28).
CTE Crickhowell Taxis (01873 811764) is the practical local phone. Daytime High Street hops are easiest by call; summer car parks fill fast, so pre-book evening returns. Powys's published maximum table applies to licensed hackney journeys inside the licensing area — private hire quotes are agreed upfront. Uber does not operate here.
## What to check
From High street to the Usk bridge. Hackney tariff vs private hire; the meter is the council maximum, not an app quote.

Common questions
What if the meter is higher than this table?

What if my journey ends outside Crickhowell?
Out-of-area work may be refused or quoted as private hire. Agree that before you travel. The street table on this page is the licensed hackney maximum for the council that covers Crickhowell, not a nationwide taxi price.
