Yes — Canberra rank and hail taxis use a regulated meter rate set by Access Canberra, with separate day, night and Friday/Saturday peak tariffs.
The maximum card-payment surcharge on a Canberra taxi is 5% of the metered fare. The cap is set by Access Canberra and matches most other Australian jurisdictions.
Pre-booked ACT taxis use the same regulated meter rate as rank and hail trips, plus a booking fee that is disclosed before pickup. Some app-based operators offer fixed quotes which sit outside the regulated meter.
Canberra Airport does not apply a separate regulated surcharge for taxi pickups. The fare from the terminal to the Canberra CBD is the standard metered amount, typically A$35–A$45.
ACT peak rates apply between 10pm and 6am, with an additional Friday/Saturday late-night surcharge. Public holidays use the peak tariff regardless of the hour.
