Editor’s analysis
Perth CBD → Airport runs the same Great Eastern Highway corridor in reverse, about 22 minutes off-peak. No tolls. The Friday 4-6pm window is brutal — Great Eastern slows to a crawl through Belmont. If you’re flying out at 7pm Friday, leave the CBD by 4pm or push the cab to 6:15pm; both windows beat the peak.
Drop-offs trigger no rank surcharge. WA’s Tariff 2 night rate starts at 6pm, so an evening departure carries a higher meter than the airport-to-CBD direction shown on most other cities — count on A$45-58 for a 7pm departure versus A$35-42 mid-morning. T3/T4 (domestic) ranks at the western end of the airport; T1/T2 (international) is east. Confirm the terminal at the CBD rank so the driver picks the correct ramp off Tonkin Highway and you don’t pay for the connector loop.

About this route
Saturday-night trips into Perth Airport on the late-night tariff settle near A$36.77 — useful to know if your flight or event lands after the band kicks over. There are no tolls on the usual route into Perth Airport — what the meter reads is the fare you pay.
Perth Airport spans four terminals; T1/T2 share one rank and T3/T4 share another. Standard WA rank-and-hail rules apply between Perth CBD and Perth Airport: the driver must run the meter unless a regulated fixed fare is explicitly in effect (so the A$34.47 midpoint above is a maximum, not a quote). The figures here mirror the regulated maximum from Department of Transport Western Australia — drivers may charge less than the A$34.47 typical between Perth CBD and Perth Airport, never more.
