About
Australian taxi fares, sourced and shown plainly.
taxi-fare.com.au exists because the question “how much will this taxi cost me?” deserves a calm, accurate answer — not an app install. We publish the regulated maximum fare for every Australian state and territory, recompute it for your specific trip, and cite the regulator on every page.
There's also a plain-English assistant if you'd rather just ask. It answers from the same sourced rates and quotes trips through the very same fare engine as the calculator — so the two never disagree. Like everything here, it takes no booking and collects no personal data.

A CI job hashes every regulator page and flags changes for review.
What we do — and what we don’t
We are calculator-first and editorially independent. The numbers come from official regulator publications, not affiliate feeds or operator quotes. We do not sell taxi bookings, take a cut from any operator, or collect emails to surface ride-share offers. We also do not pretend the calculator is a quote — it is an estimate of the regulated maximum based on a routing estimate.
Read the full methodology for how each number is derived, where the data lives, and how to report an error.
Editorial identity
taxi-fare.com.au is published by the taxi-fare.com.au editorial — a small, independent project building public-interest pricing tools for Australian travellers. The site is engineered and edited from Australia. The published data is open and the code that calculates the fare is auditable on request.
Article bylines, when present, link back to this page. The page you are reading is the canonical author entity for every editorial surface on the site.
How we keep the rates accurate
- Quarterly manual re-verification of every published tariff against the regulator’s primary source.
- Weekly automated tripwire hashes each regulator page; a change opens a tracked review issue before any drift hits production.
- Every rate page shows the last-verified date and a link straight to the regulator — no hidden chain of citation.
