In a Taxi 2


深夜早朝2割増、22時から5時まで
しんやそうちょう2わりまし、22じから5じまで
Late at night and early in the morning there is a 20% surcharge, from 10pm to 5am.

I would call it a 'surcharge' but you might say 'premium'. 割 (わり) is also a signifier for a 'unit of ten percent', so I think the surcharge would be 20%. It wouldn't make sense for it to only be 2%.
