1. The Denver Taxi Rate Explained Simply

Officially Set

The Denver taxi rate was officially set on January 1, 2020. Taxi tariffs in the United States of America are officially set by cities or districts. The taxi tariff Denver was last set in January 2020 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 Denver taxi rate:

The Denver taxi tariff sets out how fares are calculated for trips beginning in Denver. Each ride starts with a base fare of $3.50. After the base fare, the cost increases by $1.75 for each kilometer travelled. If the taxi needs to wait during the trip, a waiting time charge of $30.00 per hour applies.

Some trips from Denver to certain destinations use flat rates. If you are traveling from Denver to downtown, the fare is a flat rate of $51.00, plus a $3.75 gate fee. The flat rate for a trip from Denver to the Denver Tech Center is $57.00, plus a $3.75 gate fee. The flat rate for a trip from Denver to Boulder is $84.00, plus a $3.75 gate fee.

Gate fees only apply on trips leaving Denver for these specific flat-rate destinations. There are no gate fees for rides returning to Denver from downtown, the Denver Tech Center, or Boulder.

For all other trips that do not use a flat rate, the fare is determined by the base fare, distance travelled, and any waiting time if applicable. Passengers can expect transparent pricing according to these guidelines when using a licensed taxi in Denver.
