Waiting fee

When you book a taxi by phone, a near-by taxi is called in by radio (through the central control office). The taxi will come to your place and wait for 5-10 min for free. However, if you don't get in the taxi within the set free waiting time, you will be charged with waiting fee.
Note from asker:
There's such a thing as a radio taxi and a non-radio taxi?
Peer comment(s):

disagree karmarkara : Radio Taxi Waiting Fee is accurate, because w.r.t. context the selected answer is half (partial), it does not consider the prefix 'wireless'in the asked term. The implication of fee can differ. For radio taxi the fee can be higher than non radio taxi.
