Yes — Perth Airport applies a forecourt access fee per taxi pickup at each terminal. The fee is passed on to the passenger as a separate line on the metered fare.
No — outside the Perth metropolitan area, WA taxi fares are set by the individual operator rather than the Department of Transport. Always confirm a price before commencing the trip in country WA.
The maximum non-cash payment surcharge on a Perth metropolitan taxi fare is 5%. This is the regulated cap; many operators apply less.
The WA peak (Friday and Saturday late-night) rate applies between midnight and 5am on Friday and Saturday nights, in addition to the night tariff already running.
