1. The Dunedin Taxi Rate Explained Simply

Officially Set

The Dunedin taxi rate was officially set on January 1, 2024. Taxi tariffs in New Zealand are officially set by cities or districts. The taxi tariff Dunedin was last set in January 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 Dunedin taxi rate:

The Dunedin taxi tariff explains how taxi fares are calculated for passengers in Dunedin. When you start your ride, there is an initial charge known as the base fare. In Dunedin, the base fare is set at NZ$10.00. This base fare is the minimum amount you will pay when you get into the taxi, no matter the distance travelled.

After the base fare, the cost of your trip increases based on the distance you travel. For each kilometre you travel beyond the starting point, the charge is NZ$2.00 per km. This means that if you travel an extra five kilometres, you will pay NZ$10.00 more on top of the base fare.

If your taxi has to wait for you during the trip, there is a separate waiting time charge. The Dunedin taxi tariff sets the waiting time fee at NZ$50.00 per hour. This charge applies if the taxi is not moving or is waiting in traffic, and it is calculated based on how long the taxi waits.

To summarise, your total fare in Dunedin consists of three main parts: the base fare of NZ$10.00, NZ$2.00 for each kilometre travelled, and NZ$50.00 for each hour of waiting time. These rules help you understand exactly how your final taxi fare is calculated according to the official Dunedin taxi tariff, making it clear and predictable for every passenger.
