Understanding The Fare Structure

In Victoria, taxi fares are regulated and consist of several components. In 2026, the standard “Time and Distance” model ensures you pay a fair price regardless of traffic conditions.

Distance Rate: Charged per kilometer (approx. $2.00 – $2.30).

Booking Fee: A small surcharge (usually $2.20) for pre-booked services.

High Occupancy Fee: If you require a Maxi Taxi or a vehicle for 5+ passengers, a fee of approximately $17.80 applies.

Taxis from Melbourne Airport (Arrivals)

When taking a taxi *from* the airport rank, an Airport Access Fee (approx. $4.80) is added to the final meter reading. This fee is a pass-through cost and is not charged for drop-offs *to* the airport.

Toll Roads and Extras

Most trips to Melbourne Airport utilize CityLink, EastLink or WestLink. Tolls are not included in the initial fare estimate and will be added to the final total as a pass-through cost.

CityLink Tulla Pass: Approx. $13.85 (for cars/taxis).

Credit Card Surcharge: A maximum of 4% to 6% applies to electronic payments, including Cabcharge.

Cleaning Fee: If a passenger soils the vehicle, drivers can charge a fee of up to $120.
