1. The Jeddah Taxi Rate Explained Simply

Officially Set

The Jeddah taxi rate was officially set on January 1, 2024. Taxicabs limousines can be found anywhere in the city, mostly on main streets. You can wave at them to ask the driver to stop. In any case, charges can't be checked in advance as most cabs are fitted with a taxi meter.

How the fare is made up under the Jeddah taxi rate:

The taxi tariff of Dschidda is simple and easy to understand. When you start your journey in a taxi, you pay a base fare of 13.50 SAR. This amount is charged at the beginning of every ride.

As the taxi travels, you pay an additional amount for the distance covered. For each kilometer traveled after the journey begins, the fare increases by 7.00 SAR per kilometer. The total distance is measured and added to your fare automatically by the taxi meter.

If the taxi waits for you during the ride, such as in traffic or at your request, there is a waiting time charge. The waiting time is charged at 60.00 SAR per hour. This cost is calculated for the time the taxi is not moving.

At the end of your trip, the final fare is the sum of the base fare, the distance traveled, and any waiting time charges. The Dschidda taxi tariff ensures that all charges are clear, so passengers know what they are paying for during every ride. All prices are shown in SAR.
