Editor’s analysis
Civic → Canberra Airport reverses the same Pialligo/Parkes corridor in 12-15 minutes off-peak. No tolls. No drop-off surcharge. The ACT’s Tariff 2 night band starts Saturday 7pm and runs through to 6am Sunday, lifting the typical meter A$3-5 on late-evening departures.
Canberra Cabs and Cabxpress both serve the airport rank, and there is no booking premium for a metered rank job. If you’re flying out during a parliamentary sitting week, allow an extra 8-10 minutes through Russell — the same delay that affects the inbound direction, in reverse. Canberra Airport’s single departures-level loop means there is no terminal-confusion delay; T1 serves all carriers on one apron.

About this route
Saturday-night trips into Canberra Airport on the late-night tariff settle near A$31.96 — useful to know if your flight or event lands after the band kicks over.
Canberra Airport sits 8 km east of Civic, with a single shared rank on the departures-level loop. Standard ACT rank-and-hail rules apply between Canberra CBD and Canberra Airport: the driver must run the meter unless a regulated fixed fare is explicitly in effect (so the A$29.34 midpoint above is a maximum, not a quote). The figures here mirror the regulated maximum from Access Canberra — drivers may charge less than the A$29.34 typical between Canberra CBD and Canberra Airport, never more.
