About this route
Late Saturday (post-10pm), the trip out of Darling Harbour costs around A$40.02, an extra A$7.54 above the daytime baseline.
Every taxi leaving a Sydney Airport rank adds the airport access fee to the meter total; it is charged once per trip, not per passenger. Over 10.4 km the meter alternates between two rates: a per-kilometre charge while the cab is moving, and a per-minute waiting rate once it drops below the slow-speed threshold. That is why a A$32.48 trip from Darling Harbour to Sydney Airport costs more in stop-start traffic than the distance alone suggests. Rates verified against Transport for NSW (Point to Point Transport Commission); a typical Darling Harbour → Sydney Airport fare on the day rate is A$32.48, the regulated maximum for the route.
