About this route
The Northern Territory airport surcharge is automatically added when the pickup is at Darwin Airport, so the quoted totals are inclusive. Palmerston after 10pm on Saturday: the meter steps up to A$57.23, an uplift of A$9.59 on the day-rate equivalent. No toll road sits on the natural route between Darwin Airport and Palmerston, keeping the maths straightforward.
Darwin International Airport sits just 8 km from the CBD and the airport surcharge applies to pickups but not drop-offs. Treat the A$47.64 midpoint from Darwin Airport to Palmerston as a regulated maximum, not a quote: traffic delays only raise the bill if they push the meter through the slow-speed threshold. NT Department of Logistics and Infrastructure sets the metered ceiling reflected here — about A$47.64 on the day rate for the trip into Palmerston.
