1. The Gold Coast Taxi Rate Explained Simply
Officially Set
The Gold Coast taxi rate was officially set on July 1, 2024. Taxi tariffs in Australia are officially set by cities or districts. The taxi tariff Gold Coast was last set in July 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 Gold Coast taxi rate:
The Gold Coast taxi tariff sets clear rates for all trips. The cost of a taxi ride is made up of a base fare, a distance charge, and an extra charge if the taxi is waiting. These rates are designed to ensure passengers know exactly how their fare is calculated.
From Monday to Saturday, between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm, the day tariff applies. Under this tariff, the base fare to start your trip is $3.60. For each additional kilometre traveled, the charge is $2.62 per kilometre. If the taxi needs to wait, for example in traffic or at your request, the waiting time is charged at $58.80 per hour.
The night tariff is in place from Monday to Saturday between 7:00 pm and 7:00 am, as well as all day on Sunday. For trips during these times, the starting base fare is $5.80. The charge per kilometre remains the same as during the day, at $2.62 per kilometre. Waiting time is also $58.80 per hour.
To calculate your fare under the Gold Coast taxi tariff, the driver starts with the base fare. Then, the distance you travel is added at the per kilometre rate. If there is any waiting time, this is included based on the hourly rate. This makes it easy for passengers to understand what they are paying for and how their fare is worked out.
