Hobart Airport taxi questions
How much is a taxi from Hobart Airport to Hobart CBD?
About $57.91 on the day meter for the 21.3 km trip, using the official TAS regulated rates. Night and weekend tariffs cost more, and heavy traffic adds waiting time.
Is there an extra charge for taxis at Hobart Airport?
The airport charges its own rank fee, but it is set by the airport operator rather than the state regulator, so there is no published regulated amount to include in an estimate. Expect a few dollars more than the metered figure shown here.
Is a taxi from Hobart Airport cheaper than a rideshare?
It depends on demand. A taxi from the rank is a regulated maximum, so it cannot surge — the fare is the same at 2am on New Year's Day as it is on a quiet Tuesday, aside from the published night and weekend tariffs. Rideshare is often cheaper off-peak and considerably more expensive during surge.
Do I have to book a taxi from Hobart Airport?
No. Taxis at the rank are rank-and-hail, so you can join the queue without booking. Booking through an operator is optional and may add a booking fee.
