Geelong taxi-cab service fares

Affordable taxi-cabs for Geelong, Bellarine and Surf Coast

Geelong Taxi Network provides an affordable and reliable taxi-cab service to Geelong and district, with a fare structure that is both fair and transparent, as set by the Essential Services Commission (ESC). Please take time to examine our fares and use our taxi fare estimator to calculate the cost of your journey when you book or hail one of our fleet of Geelong taxi-cabs and maxi taxis. And remember, you can take also advantage of our taxi courier and parcel delivery service for Geelong and district.

To estimate your fare, we have provided an example using the standard fare rates (as per below) and how they could be calculated. Please make allowance for the delays due to traffic flow and stopping time applied when vehicle travelling below 21km per hour. Our estimate below may not include applicable extras such as tolls, airport fee and government fees. This is an estimate only, the actual fare will vary.

You can use a combination of google maps (to learn the kilometres) and the rates listed below to work out your estimate.

Example: Jenny wants to travel from the Geelong Train Station to Avalon Airport at 1pm on Tuesday. The distance is approximately 22.5 kilometers.

Google distance (22.5 kms) x standard day rate ($2.40 per kilometer) =$54.00

Plus flag fall: $4.30

Booking fee: $2.20

State Govt Levy: $1.27

Rough Estimate $61.77* not including stopping time which cannot be calculated until time of travel.
