Saturday-night trips into Newcastle CBD on the late-night tariff settle near A$69.64 — useful to know if your flight or event lands after the band kicks over. There are no tolls on the usual route into Newcastle CBD — what the meter reads is the fare you pay.
Standard NSW rank-and-hail rules apply between Newcastle Airport and Newcastle CBD: the driver must run the meter unless a regulated fixed fare is explicitly in effect (so the A$57.33 midpoint above is a maximum, not a quote).
