There is no call booking fee, just a minimum charge of 25k... Eg, if u call a cab and your meter fare is 12k, you will still need to pay the minimum charge of 25k. If your final meter charge is more than 25k, you just pay the final meter charge. You will also have to bear the entrance fee, if any (eg if silvercab picks u up at Nagoya Hill, u need to pay for his entry fee of 2k).

For Bluebird, the meter starts at 8k rupiah for the 1st kilometer, and it jumps 550 rupiah for every 100 metres.

For Silvercab, the meter starts at 6k rupiah for the 1st km and it jumps 500 rupiah for every 100 metres.

Never taken a metered cab from Sekupang to Nagoya, but I am sure that it is much cheaper than taking one of those private taxis or one of those hailed from the taxi counters.

One more thing to note: Silvercabs can pick you up from anywhere, whereas there are many places that Bluebird cabs cannot pick u up from, eg all the major shopping centers, all the ferry terminals, etc..
