1. The Perth Taxi Rate Explained Simply

Officially Set

The Perth taxi rate was officially set on 1 juin 2022. Taxi tariffs in Australia are officially set by cities or districts. The taxi tariff Perth was last set in juin 2022 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 Perth taxi rate:

The Perth taxi tariff explains how much you pay for a taxi ride in the city. The fare is made up of a base charge plus additional costs depending on distance and waiting time. The tariff is different during daytime hours on weekdays and during nighttime hours, weekends, and public holidays.

From Monday to Friday, between 6:00 am and 6:00 pm, the day tariff applies. For a typical ride during these hours, the base fare starts at $4.60. After the base fare, you are charged $1.87 for each additional kilometre travelled. If the taxi waits for you instead of driving, there is a waiting fee of $53.00 per hour, which is calculated according to the time spent waiting.

The night tariff is used from Monday to Friday between 6:00 pm and 6:00 am, and all day on Saturday and Sunday. During these times, the base fare is $6.65. The cost for each further kilometre remains $1.87, and the waiting fee is also $53.00 per hour.

The Perth taxi tariff makes sure that passengers pay a fair price that is easy to understand. Always check the meter at the start of your trip to ensure that the correct tariff is being used. All official taxi fares include these charges, so you can plan your travel budget with confidence.
