The BBC spent almost £12m on taxi bills last year, taking its total for the last three years to £34m.
Despite pledges to cut back on taxis, the total amount spent rose to £11.9m for the 12 months to 31 March 2014.
The previous year the corporation spent £11.7m and the year before that £10.7m.
A breakdown of the taxi spend shows that in 2013/14, £63,969 was spent on waiting time with 1,423 bookings cancelled on arrival at a cost of £24,401.
These detailed figures only cover the BBC Trust, BBC Northern Ireland, BBC Scotland, BBC Wales and the finance and operations and strategy and digital departments.
They exclude taxi trips for news, production or radio as the figures come from a Freedom of Information request that was passed to the Guardian and the BBC only has to give information for purposes “other than those of journalism, art or literature”.
A BBC spokesperson said: “More than a third of taxis are to get guests to and from our shows and Guardian journalists and columnists are happy to use them when they appear on our programmes.
“We also make sure staff get home safe when they finish working in the middle of the night.”
