About this route
Late Saturday (post-10pm), the trip out of Glenelg costs around A$21.99, an extra A$3.09 above the daytime baseline.
The Adelaide Airport run into the city goes down Sir Donald Bradman Drive with no tolls anywhere in the state, so the meter is the whole story. Over 5.6 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$18.90 trip from Glenelg to Adelaide Airport costs more in stop-start traffic than the distance alone suggests. All fares quoted track the official schedule published by South Australian Department for Infrastructure and Transport; the day-rate midpoint from Glenelg sits at A$18.90.
