Hourly Hire / As-Directed vs app taxis in Leeds

Apps look cheap until demand spikes. Here is the honest comparison for Leeds.

Option	Typical cost	The catch
Ride-hailing app	moves with demand	Surge pricing on Friday nights, airport runs and bad weather, and drivers can cancel
Hackney meter	around £2.50 to £3 a mile on the meter	The meter keeps climbing in traffic and roadworks
Kruze fixed fare	from £15, then £2 per mile, fixed	None. Agreed before you travel with a DBS-checked driver and no surge, ever
