What to know
## Mold taxi fares
Mold (Y Wyddgrug) is Flintshire’s county town — market and theatre, Flintshire taxi table; not the coast at Rhyl.
## Getting around by taxi in Mold
Mold is Flintshire's county town — inland market and theatre, not a coastal promenade cab strip. National ride-share apps have virtually no presence here.
Cresta Cars (01352 876666), Castle Cars (01352 755666), Awel Cars (01352 753123), and Jays 1st Class (01352 929394) cover town, Clwydian trailheads, and links to Flint / Buckley stations. Daytime hops are easiest to book by phone; evenings and Sundays, call ahead. Flintshire's published maximum table applies to licensed hackney journeys inside the licensing area — private hire quotes are agreed upfront.

Common questions
How much is a taxi in Mold?
The published figure is the Flintshire County Council hackney maximum, not a minicab quote. Tariff 1 starts at £3.10 on the meter. Private hire (pre-booked) uses the price you agree when you book. Night, Sunday and public-holiday periods are higher — they are on this table.
Does the driver have to use the meter?
In a licensed hackney hired from a rank or hail, the meter should follow this table. Pre-booked private hire is not this table. If the meter is above the published maximum, contact Flintshire County Council licensing with the plate number and time.
What about night, Sunday or Christmas extras?
Flintshire County Council publishes extra tariff periods (evening, weekend, public holiday). They are separate columns on this page — not a surprise booking fee unless the council table says so. Ask which tariff is running before you sit down.
Does the taxi meter apply in Mold?
Yes for a rank or hail hackney. Private hire uses the booked price. A typical hop is Town hall / market to the bus station.
Is private hire the same as a hackney in Mold?
No. Private hire is booked and not bound to the hackney tariff. A typical hop is Town hall / market to the bus station.
Do you rank taxi fare in Mold?
No. Know Wales does not rank venues or call anything cheapest. We explain taxi prices and the local checks, then you decide. A typical hop is Town hall / market to the bus station.
