A WOMAN says she will boycott a taxi company after she was charged extra for stopping to get change.
Dee Hall-Waters, who works for the Orange communications company in Darlington, says she was charged 50p extra by United Taxis because she asked the driver to stop at a newsagents so she could get change for her fare.
She said: "I have been booking with the firm every day to get to work and sometimes two or three times during the day. I don't intend to use them again."
United Taxis is believed to have offered a free trip as recompense, but the offer has been refused.
The company declined to comment.
