1. The Minneapolis Taxi Rate Explained Simply

Officially Set

The Minneapolis taxi rate was officially set on 1 janvier 2024. Taxi tariffs in the United States of America are officially set by cities or districts. The taxi tariff Minneapolis was last set in janvier 2024 and published in the official tariff ordinance. It is binding for all taxis and taxi companies within the compulsory driving area and may not be exceeded or undercut. This is ensured by officially calibrated taximeters installed in the taxis.

How the fare is made up under the Minneapolis taxi rate:

The taxi tariff for Minneapolis charges passengers a starting base fare of $5.00 at the beginning of each trip. This base fare covers the first 1.60 kilometers of travel. If your trip goes beyond 1.60 kilometers, the fare increases by $1.71 for each additional kilometer traveled.

If the taxi is stopped or moving very slowly, there is a waiting time charge. The rate for waiting time is $24.00 per hour. This charge may apply during heavy traffic or while waiting at stoplights.

For trips that start at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP), there is a required airport access fee of $4.00 added to your total fare. This airport fee is charged once per trip, no matter how many passengers are sharing the ride.

The total price of your ride will include the base fare, distance fares after 1.60 kilometers, any waiting time charges, and the airport fee if your trip begins at MSP Airport. The Minneapolis taxi tariff is designed to provide clear and transparent pricing for all passengers.
